The Wreath and the Follower - Capstan

You belong in Austin

It’s where your heart’s always been

You said I never paid attention but I was listening

Every word still resonates

Your sense of fear, your sins and faith

And all you wish you could embrace

Were we a step or an escape?

Well maybe I was wrong

But maybe you were too

It’s just the self-destructive system that we both fell into

Symbiotic in nature with nothingness to give

Blind eyes see no perspective

Left yourself in Portland

Or what portions you had left

So damaged and it’s obvious

Destruction craves an audience

And I swear that you need help but won’t accept it

Though it kills to know I can’t give it

I’ve done everything but admit that

It’s just as much on me

Maybe I was wrong

But we both know you were too

It’s the fucked up situations that you always pulled me into

Symbiotic in nature with nothingness to give

Blind eyes see no perspective

But that night you lit up my eyes like a field of fireflies

And in that brief moment I could see that I was blinded by my inconsistencies

I felt my chest decompress

I laid the old me to rest

And as he haunts my dreams I’m not obsessed

I’m enlightened not blessed
