willow-tabarnak - ophilia lyrics

behind unkept walls and heavy coats of vines traced in th+rns
the burden of survival a yolk heavy enough to crush were it falls
a small engine tied to paralyzed that are slowly tolled
a rope thats worn and rutted into that who constantly pulls
as white knuckles bleed from the th+rns of choked flowers
a pumping heart with a break bleeds and lets a heart so full
as overused ceremonial daggers caked in rust grow dull
but the means must be salvaged, you must head the call

ophilia
ophilia
i will sit with the weak and weary savingb the dead from harm
and hold eternity as long as i can in my weakening arms

the rivers frozen around the edges with sweet ophelia wilted
found picked to sinue and opalescent skin slowly dissolving
as i sit for a second, and hold her in habit and rest beside her
with moss growing on the pine bough ceiling of a temporary shelter
visiting a grave for the 200th time, to ask if they’ll be helpful
to weep on a shoulder for which i’m awful enteral grateful
as i nibble, cry, and apologize, and eat the leftover wings of an angel
as i hold much much longer than any of this was meant for

ophilia
ophilia
i’m not as perfect as death, i can’t keep up
i can’t visit forever, nor pay enough for help
after days in the cold i feel something step to the barrier to the physical
a third voice that stands in the doorway and comes in only after
putting what toys i left out away after each petty playtimes over
putting aspects into boxes, and putting them on shelfs so very careful
attached with the heavy ropes and strings to love one forever
to give up everything but your ability to tend to and love her
until i wander too far, and realize my own self imposed being faithful
and when i leave it remains, a stained glass silhouette tending to the angel

i will hope my odes are enough
and one day i can sink you with my love
