Fall Back Open

Hanging on in the dusk
Shadows long vanishing
Anodyne in my blood
Fade me out into sleep
With a pull on a thread and a split
Fall back open
What a fool to believe for a minute
That I could hold it
Waking up in the white
Sharp daylight breaking
Feel the lift wearing off
Heavy mind aching
Drying up like a scar
Staying on the haunting
On the mend just enough
To pass as if healing
With a pull on a thread and a split
Fall back open
What a fool to believe for a minute
That I could hold it
