Orpheus by Wednesday's Wolves

There's still a fog inside my lungs
I'm breathing out a shelter as words fracture on my tongue
It's confession and it's choking me
Trapped behind the broken breath I couldn't free

And sometimes all that's left of me
Is rage under my apathy
And most days if I had the choice
I'd spend breathless just to hear your voice

I wrote you on my skin
To try to shut the doors that keep me bleeding from these veins
But there's soul that keeps on spilling from my mouth and eyes
It's draining me and blaming me again

There's still a scream inside my head
It's never loud enough to wake the dead
Every holy word I ever knew
Strung together they were still too few

Were I Orpheus I wouldn't fail
Were I able to traverse the veil
Were I Orpheus I'd get it right
Were I only given Gods to fight
