moddi - poetry lyrics

Loading...

i’ll bury my downcast hours in transparent ink
tie myself to the mast and wait here for the ship to sink
though i know i’ve set sail on a wishing well

the daylight is dimming out slowly with every breath i take
gasps of air become roaring rivers keeping me awake
it gives me no time to think things through
i know words always come before you do

but i can’t find no poetry left in these lines
i’ve been trying too hard, too long, too many times

is this what a biochemist would call happiness?
is it part of some unmade promise i thought i could forget?
is it time that i let some air come through?
for now strangeling love is all i can do

yeah, i know you have mountains of poems in mind
all explaining how all wounds will heal given time
but these days are no longer my time to spill
and i know that by waiting, i’ll make them stand still

i kept it as close as i could through those winter nights
but the ropes only tighten round me as i tried to fight
there’s no worth throwing stone in a wishing well
now i’m out of black ink and true tales to tell

and i know it’s all poetry, know they’re just lies
but i’ll still scavenge on what i find in between those lines
i’ll pretend there was happiness, fake to have felt pain
just to feel there’s a reason to read it again
just to feel there’s a reason to read it again
