wilderness - the renaissance

 


I'm not an echo of the ocean that puts you to sleep
I'm just a seashell hoping to get picked on a quiet beach
Committed to seclusion, it must be witchcraft that keeps me content
Backbone shattering ruin, I must be unjustly spiteful and mental

Vexed like I'm a bottled menace
No one likes an enchantress
Let me calm you down, hypnotize all things wild
You weep like a summer waterfall
Scratch your face like you don't really want it all
But why can't I remain in the dreamscape of my wilderness, untouched, fragile and raw

If my heart must break, let it find its place in another soul, one where it holds
Too many heartbeats, a death march pounding, my fangs begin to show
Pump the blood rush, maroon sunburn, mended assumption
I sink my teeth in deciphering the gravity of my blasphemy

Plagued by every prophecy
Withdrawal is anxiety
Let me calm you down, they should've warned you about me
I weep like a flooded waterfall
Burnt the clothes that gave me depth and a persona
I'm left levitating weightless, heart wrenching ascent to my wilderness

Now as I rip out your roots from the back of my mind, I forget who I am for a second
I haven't stood on my own in a while
I lost all the sadness that made me creative, so I chase the trouble and fumble when my words feel forged
I warm up to your resentment, throw your drink in the fire to tame it, what a horrible idea
I dreamt it

I believe in oracles and miracles 
My gratuity for powers invisible
Will one day be the tragic suffering and death of me
We weep like a winter waterfall
Unsure of whether its bitterness or grief of something we never had at all
But I'm back on that beach, happy enough to be seen.
