The Softest Nights Are Never Silent Video (MV)

She used to say that the cold would fade away
There was certainty in the words she spoke
I wonder now if she'd even want to know
Where all her broken vessels go
Would she chase us still, while the shadows creep?
I'm limping back to those words on bloody feet
When I left the cage and the chain for all it kept me from
I didn't think the fear would follow
Horizons hide in a world built for giants
If there's warmth out here, then I can't find it
I used to think that starving was part of it,
My need to be so much farther from the stretched out spaces in between the walls
I was wrong
It's all too bright, too violent
Even the softest nights out here are never silent
She used to stare at the barren sky for hours
I never saw what she did, but now I know
Of the beauty there, in the snow tracing the border between earth and sky
I am no guardian, just shattered stone
I'm breaking teeth, wearing feet down to bone
And as the sun starts to set, I creak a song to myself
I feel the distance from home sinking in again
I'm on my own
She had these eyes
One of earth and one of sky
Partitioned fragments of motion and stagnance
Gleaming side to side.
And if here is where I die
I'll have that image in my head as I expire
But in this haze, I catch a glimpse
A silver glisten in the dark and if I listen hard, I swear I can hear her say
"Hey,
I'll take you to a place where you can finally sleep"
