Love Psalm
[Verse1]
I burned in that bed
You watched me fade
I spat out my venom
You swallowed the weight
These hands that once held you
Turned to bone
I hated you
For not leaving me alone
[Chorus1]
This is my love psalm
Breathed into your chest
Forgive the affliction
That failed the test
My love psalm
And the final prayer
You smothered the noise
Then stillness begin
[Verse2]
The pillow came slow
I did not turn
Your trembling hands
Were the last thing I learned
I felt your tears
Leak through the thread
And all I could think was
"Rest the sick and the dead"
[Chorus2]
dear James…
I hear your mind splinter
Through the ash
dear James…
I'm in the static
You're in the crash
You think I'm waiting
In that special place?
No, love
I'm the ache you won't erase
[Guitar/Atmospheric Break]
[Verse3]
You dream I'm whole
In that beautiful dress
But my perfection
Was a heavier mess
You smothered the anger
But it crawled from the grave
You killed your own shadow
Because mine couldn't be saved
[Chorus]
This is my love psalm
Etched in your lung
I release you now
From the song that I sung
My love psalm
Our cruel end
You silenced my fury
Let stillness begin
[Outro – Spoken/Slowly Crooned over crushing doom riff]
In your restless dreams
I still see that town
I drift through your ribs, love
No soul to be found
You whisper to the water
"It should have been me"
But I am the stillness
That sets you free…
