The Sound of Letting Go

You preach to the deafened
Your voices speak to no one
Your droning drowns in its own decay
You failed your lessons by mimicking the echoes
That cry for you to find your own way
You have defied them
This is everything that you deserve
Know the horror of the wrong you've earned
When you're the helplessness you sing about, only I can save you
So I hold in every breath
Until the air in me begs to forget that it ever found peace in my lungs
And it screams up my throat to my tongue
It forms the words that end this all
The moment beckoning to fall
With a wind bellowed deep from my chest
At last I've begun the collapse
I tremble with the sound of letting go
The wretched ring of everything I had in me
My heart unfurled, I exorcise the silence from this world
This is everything that you deserve
This is everything that you deserve
This is everything that you deserve
(This is what you've forgotten
This is what you've forgotten)
This is everything
(This is what you've forgotten)
