XI -

I turn my head to the sun

Eyes open to feel the blaze

Blinding light into decay

These melted wings that I embrace

I should’ve been bolder

Should have been wiser

Could’ve been something more

I should have listened to the words you spoke

I should have remembered you were always there

You wrote me a letter before you ascended

But I left it by your bedside

These psalms and choirs ring

We heard everything

We heard nothing

You write me a letter

But I left it by your bedside

You wrote me a letter…

I bared witness, I bared witness

Forsake all these haunting tones

The siren is calling, the kingdom is falling

You are not alone
