too involved (2020)

i have honestly tried to solve you a million times
i survived a wasteland of untold truths
searching for a way into your mind

while resting my head against your sheltering walls
you spoke of a violent fever for gold

in silence our bodies remained
knowing that someday it would pull you away
perhaps we got a bit too involved? 

let there be bliss
once you make it to your garden
between the cracks of the loneliest morning
your love managed to fade

let there be liberty
once you cultivate your sorrows
under the sky of your private Eden
forever awaiting a brighter day

no pain exists in these arms
no tears have filled these oceans
no soul will conquer this daze
no undying love for the unbroken

early summer
the currents pulled you away
while motionless my body remained

if only you spoke more truly to me
when your head rested on my aching frame

searching for a way to flee your mind
you designed a wasteland of wrongful lies
i have honestly tried to solve you a million times
