Dark Corners

Unused to shield your eyes for the
Millionth time
Diversions cast the veil on all
Arriving eyes

They tried to bury me
And damn near succeeded
I got pulled out from the deep
From the ones I needed

Pushing back the sky
Below we lose
Everything tonight
Let it lie
Slowly we fall asleep
To find the things we need
To keep alive
Then let it die...

White winter whispered
She sang to me
How do you take your spirits?
Loyalty free?

And I was wrong to think
That I'd be immune to this...
