Linger Some from Wrecked Demo by Regrettables

I seen your sister
Hawking books
Outside a station
Dodging looks
From passers by
Her shining eyes
Glint with a loss that lingers

In all those moments
Of hurried shame
I call to mind
Only your name
Those tousled locks
And fucked up thoughts
Too far gone to linger

When those you once loved
Are now lost
It’s only loss that lingers
The lie of living on in hearts

When those you once loved
Are now lost
It’s only loss that lingers
Mere sand through grasping fingers

Bewildered nights
Of acid scripture
Thoughts half grasped
And peals of laughter
All fuck off now
To the ether
Loss is all that lingers

I remember well
Your scuffled grace
No near as clear
As that muddy grave
Besmirched the cuffs
Of those that laid
What’s left of you to linger

When those you once loved
Are now lost
It’s only loss that lingers
The lie of living on in hearts

When those you once loved
Are now lost
It’s only loss that lingers
Mere sand through grasping fingers
