Emerald Skies in Amber Oceans

by I Am the Cave

backstage exclusive
1.
I sink into the wind, Waiting for someone to rescue me, But what I didn't know is that know Is that no one could have saved me but Myself, So in the interest of time, And a stake in My life, It's time to remove you I prayed to take away the pain, To hold it ever closer, While breaking ties before timely Suicide in every word we've screamed together, I've gathered the rest of the remnants In my chest to stand up and defeat you, Past this tomb I'll never even say Your name, This I swear, To Your brother and Parents, Send soon help to calm the hell She's spun out of control "How sick is this? Answer me a Question How sick is this?" To Bottle Fists while the world Around Us dying, I am alive, Within every vein is a city, Seemingly never casted in light, I'll meet You there, Neither of Us care enough to try, Well I lied, I will become fine
2.
I read the books that You wanted Me to, To be a better man, But I knew their words would never satisfy the need to grow old and still love You, Because You are so fucking wicked, Why are You? In three words I question Your entire existence, How does that make You feel? I suppose if I was You I wouldn't Connect to single word written here So what is the point to write A self-addressed confession to Yourself That is wasn't just Your cousin You watched get buried, God You disaster Did You even go back to Her With any promise of hope That it would be a long time Before You were with Her again, Or did You lie? Do You remember reality? Minutes, Days, Years, They divide in to get out, Mother misses being tricked Into contemplated remissions Of cancerous Lung Tissue, A thousand Suns Couldn't Match the Separation Of how tightly I was fused to You

And then there was three, We sat so closely in this cave, It is Our home, Outside of these walls I know I Am Still whole, So come with Me, To another place no farther than A thought from here, Where the obelisks bleed rain And temples sing heresy, With Meadows aching as their Stones grow older, Stars Withering so quickly to dust If you blink they are Us Taking Our turn interned here Still I cannot stay thinking A piece of the night sky was Gone, When in truth it was never even there, So what was imagined? So now We sit alone again, Our backs to God, As We begin to fade away into the dark, But here we are, Hand in Hand with reservations to an emergency room, These table tops growing colder by the second, I'll see you on the other side of the line neither of us truly feared, I fear we are the same

Li(ve) 03:28
I wait on the rings of Your mind, We chase the stars into the cloudy night above what We are, We expect easy answers, But We have to be the Ones who answer, Stop Dying for easy things, Be who You are, Everything You see will glow Gather in time and space, And remove in a way the pain, The best cure to life Is to stop waiting for the next chapter To accidentally happen, Just make it happen, See what happens, See who's happy and lead Yourself to where they are Breathe, Breathe In, Breathe, Now let it out, Forget every scar, But remember often that they comprise Who You are
6.
I step into a funeral home for a tuxedo, The night is right, The moon approves, It proves a point that even the moon can change, It can fade across the horizon before Our Eyes, Looks like years of life, Mirrored over pitch blackened lakes, You've never been to Waiting for Me to wake, Why do they stay, Hold on, Care? Try to belong to You, But never wanting to be apart of the Solution to anything dearest, Come and take the reigns from Me, It's flooded and I know the rain is near to Me, And I fear nothing more than Your perfume across the wind, Everything that could bring Me back to You, Still I know the way home, Way home, Is out of the way, Home is where We go to create Conscious thought again, Where Am I to finally Call My Own? Because I can't give into settling, I know the Mountains around Me Are made of Gold, Still I want was once beneath The Mountain of Coal Again

Nashism 02:53
I step into Your room to try To find out how quickly I remember why I'm forgetting Who We were, To who We are now, I propose a toast, May we never let slip our conscious Ability to love go, Or did You whisper grow Once the door was closed? I slowed My growth in life To pretend that I am fine, But I am not alright, None of Us are, Though the thought is nice, Slowly I've learned to breathe again And having taken Us as far as We could ever go, Diverge forward into whatever You think is fair, The value of a dollar doesn't matter As long as You care, You Won't be alone anymore, We can't keep dividing anymore, Enter the Halls of Change, Wait for the bells to toll But never the one to ring it, Let it echo to the world That We are Alive, Unite to Die as brothers
8.
An earthquake across Your dormitory floor, Clinging to the Lights The night brings the Day In less, In what seems like seconds I stopped feeling at all, It was the world distorted grey, I had died, Yet You live like The lovers You adopted weren't The cause of it, I stopped counting days, And now years have gone by, Still sitting on Your bed With no excuse to survive the winter, I doubt You even miss Her, Because if someone misses You, How can You explain to the reflection Why You make life around everyone near Such a burden To Deal with, When You are the only one creating This reality for Yourself, Hell is a manifestation of Man's insatiable desire for a place To live wicked, Even sinners need shelter too, You shall be welcomed a Queen no more, No longer will I think of Your name, I'll bury the thoughts of You in Unmarked plot of land, I'll visit rarely, I say that now, But I plan to dig deep, To grow trees there so something Good will come of it, Returning often to mend and nurture, To see how strong We Have become without You
9.
With Our backs against the Wall of time again, I'll never turn the page to find out How life ends for You, But God I loved You, I love You, In every passing dream I Could not remember the color Of Your hair, I would always meet someone else, But there You were waiting to kill Yourself, I bought into it, You sold Me so Well, I dreamt the face of My new life, And it devours Me to smile without You, But You were the key Catalyst To helping close this loop so thank You
