feign/formerly from reeling by almost always

i threw my strength against the mountain,
my tracks dug miles into the earth.
i brought my dark heart into the open
and i felt it weep and beat at your words.

the dead of night couldn't hope to hold me,
the soft still voice spoke a lesson i learned.
the dead of night couldn't hope to clothe me,
you made me brave when you bore my curse.

i fell under the relief and song of
chains breaking, setting free, the unclenching of jaws
whose bloodied teeth were once lodged inside me,
sucken claws once wrapped around my spine give way.
still, i lay with broken shackles in sleep;
feigned ignorance to keep the best of you from me.

my sickly habits clothed, cleaned by grace,
the stain of guilt matching red on the page.
i'll overturn every promise i make,
i'll stab your side, leave me god in the grave.

i fell under the relief and song of
chains breaking, setting free, the unclenching of jaws
whose bloodied teeth were once lodged inside me,
sucken claws once wrapped around my spine give way.
still, i lay with broken shackles in sleep;
feigned ignorance to keep the best of you from me.

it's at your touch it's at your rebuke i shrink,
oh stop me love, from stopping me.

i've got my white flag, i've got my things packed,
i'm ready to head home.
sometimes i wonder if you let our hands go
just to see where we end up.
you must be awfully disappointed,
so let down.
