I just want to know that you're alright
You're no longer coming through
Can you please send me a sign
I live alone and very quiet
I want nothing more of you
But just to know that you're alright
I will not implore you, but I will worry for you
You always bore a shade of gloom
Your fragile confidence,
Kinetic hauntedness
Rising in my senses with a heady bloom
To me you will never belong
I'm a universe away
And I am purging you with song
When the signal was still strong
Sorrow never held me sway, but now,
It's very nearly gone
I can't keep clawing at you
I can't keep gnawing at you
Seeding misery and blight
You hang around like myrrh
But for what it's worth
How I long to see you walking in the light
I'm appealing to the sages
Clawing at these desperate pages
Just want to know if you're okay
I am never making contact
But you were on my mind today
Can I let go of your face
I will put it to the test
And lock the photographs away
All you sunlit children
I leave you to Heaven
It's okay that you're not mine
I can live with lack, there's no going back
And you know me
And you know that I will be alright
I'm appealing to the sages
Clawing at these desperate pages
