Lifeline


Lifeline is a “poetic” way of describing the feeling of having a loving partner while feeling
undeserving of their love. The darkness feels less dark within their light, but you hold a fear that it
will distinguish it if they stay. “Can you grow on my rotten fields?”

Lyrics
Nobody told me you were my lifeline. I know that sadness will sear, you haven't burnt away. Nobody told me you were my lifeline. If I knew you were here I would've stepped away, now Holding you close to my heart I descent into the darkness Falling to my demise Hiding in plain sight You're cultivating my mind Pulling me back when the end is nigh Corrupted days turn into nights My wasteland blackened I see you beyond the marsh Life holds on to seconds Our worlds intertwine Nobody told me you were my lifeline. I know that sadness will sear, you haven't burnt away. Everybody told me you'd be my demise If I had felt you here I would've found a way out Desert rose Growing inside Do I deserve your compassion Or even your life Can you grow on my rotten fields? There's not a single flower it yields Nobody told me you were my lifeline. I know that sadness will sear, you haven't burnt away. Will you be able to turn on the light inside? So I can feel you here So I can find a way out {Your eyes have shown me hope} {As your roots bury down to my soul} -------------- I feel the disease is drawing near Can you help find me the cure? Can you present a solution? Or build me a sepulchre? Build me a sepulchre Like me, you'll be dying out Way before all your seeds can sprout If there's something worth saving It can not be allowed Yet I am desperate For you to find a way I don't want to be left Left here to decay Nobody told me you were my lifeline. I know that sadness will sear, you haven't burnt away Nobody told me you were my lifeline But now you're finally here I think I'll step away, now!
