lyrics

Slipping away again,
The slow surrender grain by grain,
As the waves, war against the shore,
And I'm not sure where I'm going,
My footing is crumbling,
Cascading hair, Alluring touch,
I'm grasping for air,
As I desperately clutch,
To get this weight off my,
Chest

Intoxicating, pedals swim
Around inside my head
Already forgetting
That our gardens have since bled dry
Come morning, our dreams will have died
Dust on the wind
had once been, hear their sigh
Virtues gouged deep in the much
Chains leave their scars and I just don't give a fuck

Day by day, we give ourselves away
Just for what, we don't even have a say
Give me back, the feeling when we were kids
When I believed, believed in what I did

Now I'm loosing grip, frivolously callused
Catatonic canvas
Moonlight trapped inside glass walls
Autumn leaves look the prettiest
Right before they fall

Floating on a distant dream
Current lead me to dissolution
It was a simple solution
The acquiescence of my heart, a substitution
for the love I never had within
Skin deep, this fleeting comforts been

Now I can't get enough
It feels so cold, without your touch

Made love in our graves
While friends died in vein
A slave to the pain
Shattered moons spill their rays
Now the toll has been paid
Bloodstains paint the rain
Languid eyes kill the soul
Just what has died no on knows

I've been addicted
for far to long
It seems I'm afflicted
Drowning in self pity
Well I know a thing or two
About being used
Its true that I can only blame myself
Consequences overwhelm
Careening off the edge
Jaws of burning wreckage
Held tight, funeral song
Slow motion suicide
Let the waves usher you out
Your fall mistook for flight
Obfuscate the pained clarity
Comfort in this blurry haze
So just look away
Sorry If I wanted a single second
of relief, disbelief
at the mess you've made
