I (Foundations Stand Still)

nails scratching at floorboards begging to stay
a pathetic attempt to break from the world
stagnant in my own selfish love unreturned.
spending everyday praying for the end of a life
just as shallow as the cowards i surround myself with.
and it pounds away.
knowing that i bathe in inevitabilities just to fill this space
knowing i would do anything for peace.
just a piece of the faith i can smell and see (in you)
(keep building skin of dust and stone)
the kingdoms of my mind will learn to live to let go.
untouchable. you are untouchable.
and i just wanna sleep
