Resting Place

I’d throw myself in the well to wish for better days
I’ll cross my fingers and fall as far as light can see
Nothing draws blood like your lost hope
So far away from what you thought was a home
You were the priceless choice I once called my own
This is overdue
And now you’re fighting false corrections
You found peace in playing dead
I know that you’d never say this
But you’ve run out of ways
To manipulate your way out
I thought you got what you needed
But I know why you’re staying
You’re feeding off me
This is our resting place
Don’t promise a future that you won’t live to see
Forget all you’ve known, because you’re just a shell
And that’s all you’ll ever be
And I know you’re searching for the answers
But they are here, and they will die with you
Manipulate me
