Wrapped inside a twisted world
I can't decide what is even real anymore
as though I ever knew
Tangled in these silhouettes
floating face down in a river of regrets
and thoughts of you

Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my light
forever gone

You believed she'd never leave
Rosy cheeked and oh so young
and full of flame
Here in this bed of emptiness
Button by button I come undone
and only twenty-one

Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my life
forever gone

Gone like the broken words at your feet
You're gone in the venom lips that kiss me sweetly
Gone like a frightened bird into the sky
Won't you take everything I ever had
and leave me to die as I cry

Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my love
forever gone

Holy Tears

by HaramisLT

Mason appeared in the Turks as a hardened twenty-five-year-old already weary with the world and of life, struggling for reasons to keep going and having already given into the bottle long ago.  She doesn't know love and she doesn't believe in it, but she had to arrive there from somewhere.  This is that place.
