All Held Victim

from Dying in Deep River by Ryan Patrick White

/

lyrics

Yea you said so, but I never knew, how close it must've seemed to you. Skeletons in the closet screaming loud, "blue clouds never dissipate"
Calling from new numbers every day, it's a glass house, I've seen it too. I've often stared in, never walked through.


Sing a song for the renegades. Sing a song for the strong ones who die young. Write a book to regenerate. Bleed the canvas for everyone you've ever loved. So many nights you've talked me out of it. I saw the clock when it hit, three struck one. All the stories make me so sick, on this floating raft, I'll never see you again.


All held victim years ago, with AOA (avenger of awry) on the same show. I was just home from Montana, I left alcohol behind there. That summer at the Tune Inn I found gods, we found the music that would keep us free, a sacred smile still haunts my memory.

Your words like bloodhounds finding grace, I stayed away because I couldn't face cold facts like I knew you wanted to die, and my addiction seemed to justify. Those smells and sounds would have brought me back. It kills me that I wasn't strong enough, to conquer unreal fears of always falling off.

I'll never see you again, not until I get there.
