Mosaic from Stay Down by Take Hold

I am just beyond your reach
Body buried like a broken open seed
What will grow from me
Will it be honest

A cigarette burn on the back of my conscience
The welcome guest
Of a final breath

I was never meant to stay
Only as a form without a frame
Only as a shape without a shadow
Fabricate the flowers on my grave

I saw the branches bend and snap
Saw the tree become a match
And beg me
"Burn me down with that"
Back to ash

Twisting the truth in another noose
The branches will break
Am I the same if I ever do

My love is red
It has to end

I was never meant to stay
Only as a form without a frame
Only as a shape without a shadow
Fabricate the flowers on my grave

Each and every agony you gather on your way
Knows my name
Keep me close
In your head
Around your neck

End over end over end
