i pull back my eyelids from my eyes try to let some light in feet to the ground and then it hits me this unexplainable feeling in the pit of my stomach
i try avoiding sleep i don't wanna give in cause every time i wake i'm reliving it again i'm calling your phone when it strikes me like the deafening wails of a grieving mother
i play our memories on the back of my eyelids when it's night and i'm alone it's the only place i go
i'm wandering deep in my dreams calling you over and over and over again please linger I'm wondering why you always leave (please linger) me drowning in the sea i've cried for you please linger
every night i wander down the halls of my sleep you always greet me those glistening eyes and that widening smile it feels so good to be home again
i remember how you hugged me before you disappeared into the ether i wished you had lingered now I'm stuck in the embrace of your ghosts
