Avalanches Swallowing You

You've got this eroding mind that I can't fix
The avalanche is slowly crushing you
And I'm trying to call in helicopters
Kicking at rocks because my hands no longer know what to do
I've traded my eyes for flashlights
Chasing after glimpses of your reflection
But you're dimming
Like tragedies often do
You've become a day at the beach
And the sand in my shoes that I can't wash clean

I keep thinking I hear you breathing
But you're the melody I'll never catch
You're living off dosages of wishful thinking and denial
I wish I could drag you out with my smile
You're lost in this cave of yellowed newspapers
And tattered clothing
Your memory is rusting away
I fear it's latched onto your soul
I try and talk about your disappearance nonchalantly
But inside the thought of you

Gone

Runs like syrup through my clarity
Uncomprehendable  

You're just under that boulder
I know I'll find you in the cave in
I can build bigger lighthouses
Or invent X-ray vision
Just to be able to see you
Your soul is crumbling
But I'm trying to save what I can
I've sprinkled this landslide with pain killers
I hope they reach you in oblivion

I've posted missing signs everywhere with an old photo attached
But I don't know if its the same face you wear now
I'm terrified your mask and you won't even match

Objectivity and I aren't the best of friends
He never approves of the way I fell in love with how your eyes looked at 4 AM
But I'm running out of midnight
Each chimes makes more gravel start falling
I am laying beside you wherever you are
Can you feel my heartbeat trying to restart yours?
I'm singing into this hurricane windstorm
Your ears are stealing my air
My breath was a gift to you anyways
The sunshine's getting blocked out by your golden brown eyes
The tremors in the earth are multiplying

And I know-

I realize-

I've lost you
