Stay from The Murmur by Tamara Qaddoumi

Where have all the people gone
This sorrow hangs onto empty songs
Your face is still just broken clay
The dirt remains the dirt’s the same

While you’re still just trying to die
Your spine is limb the high is fine
You lose the wind you lose the game
Tell me I’ll make it through the day

The wounds are fresh the wounds decay
You pierce your nails straight through your veins
You dream in black with all its stains
You wake the night and all its prey

Stay
it’s safe
don’t get lost
In it all

Stay
through
the night
till the light
linger low

Stay when it’s safe it’s the weight we both know and I’ll get
lost in the pull of it all

Stay through the night till the light linger low and we’ll go down
On a path I don’t know

Stay
it’s safe
don’t get lost
In it all

Stay
through
the night
till the light
linger low

Lay still for the sun
Bleeding out all you’ve become
It’s easy when your cause has won
The passing years and shadowed age

While you’re still just trying to hide
The golden lines, the lifeless fight
Another rush for one last time
Another rush to keep you sane


Stay
It’s safe
Stay
Stay
Through the night
Till the light
Linger low

Stay when it’s safe it’s the weight we both know and I’ll get
lost in the pull of it all
Stay through the night till the light linger low and we’ll go down
Its a path I don’t know

Stay
it’s safe
don’t get lost
In it all

Stay
through
the night
till the light
linger low
