Day of Suffering

Treehouse Promises

Day of Suffering


This night's final breath 
Wraps a man within it's breast 
Heartbeat stops at last and with it 
The gathered sigh 

Regard me a boy 

Fate lies ahead 
Only to distance us 
Everyone so dear 
Must fall away 

Pages turn each day 
And so we pledge 
Treehouse promises 
Burn one by one 

Those who will comfort me 
In the end 
Are not but strangers now 
And there's no hope 
For brothers now, lovers now 
Will all disconnect 

In this apathy 
Already I've lost brethren 
Trial 
Every transgression is further endearing me 
Needed and tearing my insides apart 
I look in your eyes and the kinship illuminates 
So soon I will see but space 
Filled with regret and the loss unspoken 
You'll continue down the fucking street 
Without a word 

You take it away 
You take it away 
But the image is burned in my eyes 
But the vision remains in my mind 
And in your pity I've been left behind 
But this is the way it has always been 
This is the way it shall always be 
Love shall corrupt 
Friendships shall perish 
Distance shall kill me 
Slowly with each silent step
