about

The face of all fears
Steals the light of the moon
And now your cold heart
Sings a different tune

A hard sight to see
Your advice was not sage
You wrote a new book
I bled on every page

The foundation cracked
Under the weight of truth
The house we built burned
You're the last living proof

They live in my head
All the songs of your soul
You lived within me
And we tried to grow old

You drew on the walls
All the words from your heart
The ink opened up
And it tore me apart

I’m weary of life
And the sorrows it holds
I’m going home soon
I don’t care how it unfolds
I don’t care about anything at all
Watch me as I wither
Watch as the hammer falls

It beats us down and fractures us, it plays upon our fear
And though we try and fail to fight, with rage and many tears
Immobilizing us from life, a different kind of heart attack
And drowns us deep from every source, through every pore and crack
It swallows us, consumes us whole, the omnipresent black

lyrics

You know how this little game always plays out
Collecting black secrets and fold-outs
In your little black journal

And you, you let me down.
In my own hometown, you let me down
In my own hometown.

You ran out when I needed you most.

Blood ink, heavy but ledgible
Heart strings play out in a murmur
Attacking us while in slumber

And you, you let me down.
In my own hometown, you let me down
In my own hometown.

You ran out when I needed you most.

Tear soaked, turn the page.
Heartbroke, turn the page. X2

Ahhh!

You ran out when I need you most.
