Miss October

To all that's safe
Our memories
Our justified angst
So consumed, with no escape

Just time to wait
Bury our distress to console
Isolated…
We let out our self-denial

A faint memory of a fall left black
Only three words left to say
"I fail you"

I'll pay my respects with what I have left
We're so close to home, yet we're falling apart at the seams
And memories guiding us to sleep

Call your name…
It's been so long
It falls on deaf ears
Tragic failed attempt at re–demp–tion

Photographs discarded, re-emerge
Only to throw me deeper still…
Into remorse and regress, two years ago
And these familiar places are becoming foreign

A faint memory of a fall left black
Only three words left to say
"I fail you"

I'll pay my respects with what I have left
We're so close to home, yet we're falling apart at the seams
And memories guiding us to sleep

Nothing is safe
Not memories or visions of you
So confused, with no escape

Only three words left to say
"I fail you"

I'll pay my respects with what I have left
We're so close to home, yet we're falling apart at the seams
And memories guiding us to sleep

Guiding us to sleep…
