In Tatters EP4 track 3

No certainty exists
But I believe in this
If this doesn't end
If we go on playing pretend
We'll be at each other's throats
And I know
I can't live with those ghosts
Hanging over you and me
But after all this time
I can't help but to think
That one day I may come to my senses
If there is such a thing

Preserve

In Tatters EP4 track 2

Kicking up leaves in anger
I should have known
That this is how it ends
Kept it quiet for some time
But after a while
I lost my will to pretend
I keep this burden on my shoulders
The weight of you
And the things we left behind
The final straw was your laughter
Ironic that it always seemed to get me by

Crushed beneath your weight
I can't accept this fate

I never said loss was easy
But by nature's rules
One simply must abide
And I made a pact with my anger
That I'd do my best not to poke and prod at it's side

Third Summer

In Tatters EP4 track 1

There is no sound
Nothing here profound
All worries drowned
All fears buried under ground

Do you feel the quiet creeping in
And burrowing under your skin

Longing my life away
For what I still can't say
A distant hope
Of all fears erased

There was a time I thought I could say
"I know my place"
There was a time I could swear on my grave
"Everything is in it's proper place"

You'd act as my anchor
You ate off my plate
You'd provoke my anger
Though in certain ways
You kept my feet planted
And kept my path straight
It never took much time
For you to ease my mind

Those years are gone
And life is very long

Without You
