We Broke The Masquerade ~ Unshriven

This is Unshriven. I know the ending, I have known it for months Still every silence feels unfinished I learned to live without your voice But never learned to live beyond it Your absence never became empty It kept the shape of everything I built new days around the hollow And called that movement, called it living You have no idea How much the world can lean From peace To panic From warmth To nothing You never left Enough to lose you You never stayed Enough to heal And still I love you Through every rise Through every ruin Through every night I know it’s dead I know it’s over Still you are the only thing That feels real That feels real I have crossed other thresholds And slept beneath other skies I have listened for beginnings In the kindness of new eyes So I entered other mornings With your dusk beneath my skin Every promise made to others Found you breathing underneath You have no idea How far the ground can shift From peace To panic From warmth To nothing You never left Enough to lose you You never stayed Enough to heal And still I love you Beyond all sense Beyond all mercy Beyond defence I know it’s dead I know it’s over Still every future Bends toward you I know the truth I know the end And still I love you Not less Not wisely Not safely But completely Even when there is nowhere For that love to go You never left Enough to lose you You never stayed Enough to heal And still I love you Past all reason Past all mercy Past goodbye I know it’s dead I know it’s over Still every future Bends toward you I can survive your absence I can survive your presence It is the distance Between the two That breaks me. #gothic #gothicmetal #gothmusic #darkwave
