Treehouse Promises

This night's final breath

Wraps a man within it's breast

Heartbeat stops at last and with it

The gathered sigh

Regard me a boy

Fate lies ahead

Only to distance us

Everyone so dear

Must fall away

Pages turn each day

And so we pledge

Treehouse promises

Burn one by one

Those who will comfort me

In the end

Are not but strangers now

And there's no hope

For brothers now, lovers now

Will all disconnect

In this apathy

Already I've lost brethren

Trial

Every transgression is further endearing me

Needed and tearing my insides apart

I look in your eyes and the kinship illuminates

So soon I will see but space

Filled with regret and the loss unspoken

You'll continue down the fucking street

Without a word

You take it away

You take it away

But the image is burned in my eyes

But the vision remains in my mind

And in your pity I've been left behind

But this is the way it has always been

This is the way it shall always be

Love shall corrupt

Friendships shall perish

Distance shall kill me

Slowly with each silent step
