Breakdown, chipped away for days
Stay sane, it’s all anyone could ever take
Shadows
Arrows
Break the earth, shatter the sky
Betrayed by hope, you promised I could die
I try to drown, wade into the sea
Grab my cage and shake until someone shows me the key
Shadows and serial killers
Windows, there’s broken glass everywhere
Shallows, the river is always near
Barrows, maidens beware
Stuffed in box, nothing to do but reflect
Searching for knots, allow me to interject
Wresting control, but we’re all just threads
Spun and woven through
Plunge into decay, and wait around in the dark
I spoke too soon
Ladders, and lads not yet men
Shadows, and the shade’s not gonna win
Hallowed, my name across time
Gallows, you promised I could die
