The Distance - Emma Ruth Rundle

You arrive, now that I must leave

I’ll take one step out of the nice dream

Into, into something unknown, something unkind

Somewhere so quiet, gone from your side

Send me to lie here

Forever unseen

The distance is killing me, killing me

The distance between

I just want to die

I just want to lose you

But no one else can soothe like you would do for me

Soothe some of my doubts, all of my lives

Set them on wires, set them on pyres

Send them to burn for me

Forever unseen

The distance is killing me, killing me

The distance between

Why, why would you leave me here

Right when I need you

No, I can’t see you

Out in the open

Out in the darkness

Here where I knew you

Here in my life

Now I’m somewhere unseen

The distance is killing me

The distance between

I’m taking on water, taking on time

Does it ever leave

Does it ever leave

Taking on water, taking on time

Does it ever sleep

Does it sleep at all

Does it sleep at all

Does it sleep at all
