Betrayed

Lyrics: 永祺 江 Music: 永祺 江 Had I let the night consume his name Left his words to drown in the static waves Would morning come unburdened still Or would the silence fracture, spill Folded into myself, a body undone Whiskey-tipped fingers writing on my bone A voice in the hollow of my chest 'What is it you seek, but still cannot own?' Oh She is not here She is not here She is not here Through the dim corridors of silence, I roam A vestigial phantom of the truths left untold Had I loosed the Stygian weight from my tongue Would our love have stayed Or turned to stone A feather adrift in the eye of the storm of my mind Weightless, rootless, torn apart between the sky So how can I tell you the name of my sin A love unbreathed Yet already lost in past Oh She is not here She is not here She is not here If the ocean swallowed every sin Would you still drift beyond my skin But before I dared to break the tide My heart had gone Since I crossed the line One shadow bound to shifting light Forever reaching Never aligned Two hands that trace the ghost of flame Love dissolves before it's named
