Wilt - Whale Bones

In the morning

I awoke to find you gone

What in the darkness

Holds the guilt above my heart

The new season

I took risks to find the truth

A hope for someone else

Some other than myself

I felt the rain

I sensed my restraint

I played pretend to fit your world

I fought myself to be your whole

But all along I’d always known in time that I would lose my hold

In the turning

Self defeat begins the call

Your renewing

Convincing me of all my faults

When I withdrew your comfort grew

So surely I must be the fool

If loves a feeling that can bloom, then why can’t I give that to you

I know that I’m much more reserved

It makes you scared, It leaves you hurt

A faithful hand is never worth the pain that you never deserved

I cut you down to keep control

I let stillness consume your soul

When all you wanted was a home

I let you suffer through the cold
