Anniversary Song from Ember by Woozles

Nothing I can say
Seems to rip away
At the gnarled bark
Of your self-loathing

I can't explain it all
The galaxies in your eyes
That make me lose my way
In the infinity of you.

The way you etch
Our names into my hand
With your soft touch
And death's conviction.

How if your iron voice
Softened with innocence
Was the only sound in my ears
Joy would put me in a stranglehold.

I want a sun soaked field
I'd love an ocean view though
Maybe some time to heal
But nothing without you
I may have broken a promise
Or two too many for you
To have faith in my words
But it's all true

Honey do you see the fear?
I think the love was laced
With something too strong
We didn't bargain for

So please darling lay here
And haul this wreck up
Your arms are the only pillow
That I'll ever need.

I can't do without your reality
And the way cynicism
Flies like a dagger dripping blood
Of the whole fucking world.

I've never had a sweet tooth
So I need your special brand
Of bitters
Drunk and burnt out in your soul.

I want a sun soaked field
I'd love an ocean view though
Maybe some time to heal
But nothing without you
I may have broken a promise
Or two too many for you
To have faith in my words
But it's all true
