Prolong a Stay - Amoral

The sun’s coming down, and I’m still sleeping

No crossed over words or lines

In this list that I’m keeping

To blame it on time, prime reason for falling

Insist that it flies

When it’s you who’s been crawling

Tied ‘em down to prolong a stay

If only for one more day

Pushing them all away

No shackle or iron chain

Immune to this kind of strain

Caved under a tide of pain

Nails now long gone, red and ivory

How I wish that you’d reach out for me

Shadow rising, staring down at me calling

A study of minds of those most persistent

Cut someone deep enough to prove I existed

A blink of an eye, there, now I missed it

Fifteen turned twenty-nine

Despite my attempts to resist it

Tied ‘em down to prolong a stay

If only for one more day

Pushing them all away

No shackle or iron chain

Immune to this kind of strain

Caved under a tide of pain
