phantoms - wildest winter

Image
I've never been a faithful romantic  But your love burns the brightest blue More than any dreadful winter ever could I leave a footprint on your damned soul  Staining your precious pride My broken bones leave me paralyzed through  The longest winter night What is lost may never always be retraced The older you get you'll begin to forget my face I'll learn to move on but never learn to forgive your sins They'll just be phantoms looking for their light within What you stole from me  Turns to dust at your feet A million pieces of a puzzle that will never seize To play a part in every nightmare  Guilting you to sleep Under the rubble burns like a fire sword  Melting all your frozen dreams What is lost may never always be retraced The older you get you'll begin to forget my face I'll learn to move on but never learn to forgive your sins They'll just be phantoms looking for their light within But you can blame me all your life Serenade me about your i...

weatherman - wildest winter

Image
Tell me weatherman Will the seasons change?  I'm tired of waiting for miracles Every single day So tell me weatherman Have I always been this way Did the wind change my mind Or am I still to blame?  Tell me weatherman Did I take it too far?  I reached the end of a tunnel too quickly The horizon isn't far But tell me weatherman Am I making a mistake Staring into the clearing When there's still a haze Tell me weatherman  Was it all too much?  Fairweather made it easy Foul weather blew it all up Tell me weatherman Have I got it all wrong Playing both sides of the coin A perfect storm is never enough So tell me weatherman Why is it so cold?  It's darker than ink on our wrists Did the sun set on hope?  But tell me weatherman  Will I ever learn to trust?  Maybe I could be a roaring storm Or am I worthy enough only to be the calamitous calm?  -Neha Bhende

hoax - wildest winter

Image
Wildest winters Kept me frozen in time Candles burning Endless sketching out a perfect lie I've been living past lives in very broken homes And it is a bad sign that we're coming close To holy matches, where faith turned out to be a hoax And I was bracing myself Dared to leave you behind in the wake of my death And I was hoping my scars would turn it's back onto your false applause But you were retracing it's steps Every one till you reached the edge of my bed But you took it too far Tearing through the pine till you opened your eyes And realised it was a beautiful hoax the whole time Lanterns flicker Oil runs out barefoot in the snow Lies disfigured Faithless monsters kidnap my soul A precious lie told me I'm better off asleep The candle wax melting me to my knees There's a fire, burning out the cold That stuck to me like a false blanket of hope And I was bracing myself Dared to leave you behind in the wake of my death And I was hoping my scars woul...

the citadel - haven

Image
I've believed in myself too many times And I've been convinced that I'm always right I've trusted the wrong people and they've trusted me I've broken people's hearts, unintentionally But when everything hits, it's written on the walls It's in every newspaper and I've read them all I wish I didn't mean something's I've said Years later that conversation is dead I'm going to hide in my citadel The one place I can be myself Even if I try There's going to be that night When I just can't help but cry Everyone's so used to seeing me like this It gets worse if I change things up a bit So I'm going to hide in my citadel With no more stories to tell I've played with my feelings, but with the wrong hand I've criticised the good and kept secrets for the bad I spilt the tea like I made it, watched it burn through the ground I was safe in my fortress, why did I have to step out But when everything hits, it...
