Parchment

Parchment Written by: Joshua Kingcade The first single for the upcoming album "Affair of Ghosts" Set for early 2027. I lay here, I'm burning From a fire deep inside my heart I'm old but I'm learning How to let go and how to restart Am I longing for something That I'll never find again in this life I'm broken and brittle I feel like a big part of me has died Seeking a Lazarus for the heart Assemble once again the broken parts Hold together frail and flimsy Finding the strength again within me But instead laying alone in the dark I fall in despair like my city And everyone else around, no hope Empty buildings retreating Sitting alone in my empty broken home Listening to the world outside Living it's life with no more reason to love A rope to either hang or to climb Will I make it through this time or give up Seeking a Lazarus for the heart Assemble once again the broken parts Hold together frail and flimsy Finding the strength again within me But instead laying alone in the dark A bullet for a plight A noose another night A pill bubbling deep inside A wasted end to a life A hope without a future A scope of another torture A dime of another dozen An end that don't mean nothing A cry for another awakening A lie for another mistaken sin A joke we are all partaking in A happiness where I'm faking it An enduring nightly quality A furious grip of my reality A serious hit of formality An excruciating daily normality I fall into a desperate repetition I crawl through this shit of an existence I kneel in the presence of this darkness I kill any heavy leaving a life of parchment A light turning off mind A fight losing all it's might A sight falling into blind A child crying lost inside
