Zeal/Appeal Lyrics

Open sand

Open sky

Open hands

Open eyes

I need you

I'm alone in my reliance on you

This can't be

You're standing strong as I fall to ruin

My tears fall

Dried by the sand and your attire

I'm not yours

The clothes I now wear better cement reliance on you

I didn't mean to leave a trail

I feel your eyes peer right through me

I wonder who will ever know

My fear is sewn upon my sleeve

I'm not sure why I'm here

A sort of half thought retreat

But with the line erased

I've taken in my unease

Broken wings keep us here

A haven to get us by

I'm blinded next to you

Gunshots melt in the red sky

The smell of home holds us

Held close by those dear to us

Slowly growing without knowing

The burden soon set upon us

I remember it clearly

I cling to it tightly

I long for it dearly

I'm woken by it nightly

But not this time

I knowingly resigned

Stuck thinking back on all we used to be

You were truly meant for me

I can't face you

I can't even tell you

Why I sometimes cry

I can't face you

I can't even tell you

Why I can't say goodbye

Now I wake to my own teardrops

Given leave to rebuild myself

I try to keep my mind on track

Then you show your face, with her, with words

And your scent adorns her body

Our home is nothing more than ashes

Flowing on the whims of the wind
