lyrics

I was slowly retracing my steps, but they’re covered over
And I’m relaying my words for good measure, but I’m no further
And I was caught up in the sullen gaze of your eye
Must the silence linger on?
The flames illuminate the subtleties I’m denied
And now this is truth enough

You gave a light to my darkest hour
And I was running, as the feelings devoured
And you were akin to my darkest mind
When I was running from the demons behind

I’m not going to be holding my breath when you step a little closer,
The edge has beckoned your body for years,
Why have you never chosen to jump?
We’re turning over so I summon strength to my hands and my mouth, from speaking up
The flames illuminate the subtleties I’m denied,
And now this is truth enough

You gave a light to my darkest hour
And I was running, as the feelings devoured
And you were akin to my darkest mind
When I was running from the demons behind

How did we fall?
When did this become a game?
I bared my soul, but with no response and no avail
Can we begin?
Do we still resent in vain?
I still feel blessed, to have known the skin and lips so pale

Shedding the skin, ‘cause it held you back
My patience led me to no other reason
Cutting the ties in the breaking light
But my distrust was bound to us

You gave a light to my darkest hour
And I was running, as the feelings devoured
And you were akin to my darkest mind
When I was running from the demons behind
And I would run in the rage of the storm
As you were caught with the weight of the world
And I would run in the rage of the storm
As you were caught with the weight of the world
