"Let You Break"

To cut out the figure
The grounding of this
Let melancholic drown

To greener reminders
Of better pastures
You're beautiful and found

Embattled walls that I have raised
To only bring you down
A fortune I would gladly trade
To swim within the sound

I wish you would
I wish you would

I will never (let you break)
I will never let you break

The burn of the summer
When I first saw you
Still upon my brow

The gentle refusal
The fear you flourish
Let peel away from now

The red that I have run so long
The penchant for this flight
The memory of this overcomes

Lifting now to light
