Remains

She whispers, ‘just breathe’
The only way out, is through
Should you fall beneath
Truth laid bare for you

 

The only way out is through
Weighted pain pulls you under
Truth laid bare for you
Ire turned surrender

 

Weighted pain pulls you under
The solace of nothingness
Ire turned surrender
Lungs filled with emptiness

 

The solace of nothingness
How easy to just let go
Lungs filled with emptiness
No grievance toward the throe

 

Your pain, your grief, your sorrow
Should you fall beneath
Today renders tomorrow
She whispers, ‘just breathe’

This reminds me of a show I watched called The Rescue Mediums. They recant similar words to gather trapped souls and help them find the light. Very beautiful.
