Take a Way

Vestigial Remorse

…finally unpacked my new house enough to create music again :D …enjoy!

Take a Way

// Take this as take away
// Do I need to stay away?
// Tell me what’s in your way

// Take this as take away
// Do I need to walk around?
// Is there something in my way?

// Everything just pulls away
// It seems there is a better way
// Now tell me who’s standing in my way?

Where night rests and daylight screams
My shoulders bowed to near breaking
As I sit idly by and wait
For her to catch my eye amid
the roar of beligerants
Too drunk on lust to see the girl
Of strength, frailty, beauty, and mind
Casually, I sit beside

(Chorus)

If I can be, I’ll be right there
If I could love, I’d hate despair
If I could know what drags her down
I’d slaughter every god I found
For just one moment
A single kiss
To catch and hold
To drink, make bold
The remains of my scarred
My charred, my blackened
Burnt out heart

(Chorus)

And I court her like disaster
Waiting for my rejection
I court her like the ones I’ve loved
Like all the ones who’ve gone away
