Bokeh from In Retrospect by Claire Voyancé

Flay, expose, pick up the tourniquet
Breathe freely, ever so swiftly
I dread the end so much it kills me
I make it through, at a cost

I've been told it's not the right way
I've let it go
But at times the guilt tears me apart
I ran through the crowd to get to you
I held on to you for dear life

If I could move the mountains I'd cover up the sun

I always forget time's telling nature
Took ages to face the facts
I look back and nothing awaits me
Were you ever there?
The rope still holds but only barely
Chafing open the scars of years gone by
But I conquered the lifeless landscape
Held myself from looking back
I keep looking for the light I lost
