lyrics

Twisted tongues in solitude
How you think we, we could move
From misconception of the flesh on the flesh
We walk on this twisted path
We hit the haze and lick the remains
Of our bones in the gutter

We're only able to hurt ourselves
And give this present of decay to our bodies
In a moment of eternity
On our skin there is still this wound
That looks like an arrogant smile
We both know that we have
Some tears of the past not dried up yet
And all these rusty blades we slowly sharpen
Wait for our backs

The pattern drawn on the sand by erratic children
Could be cleared by the rising tide
So i stood, i held the tide
I cherished this suffering to keep you alive
I gave everything
Then i was held back
I gave up everything
But what's the prize

The pressure grows
I'm moving back
And now i talk in ugly measures
I try to break my fingers on a typewriter
To be unable to pull the trigger

I close my eyes in solitude
How can you think that
That i could see the sea retreat
And take away all the good and the bad
Persistence of vision makes me live like a dreamer
In the kingdom of the dead
Searching for your presence
But you're not here anymore

I'm only able to fall on the ground
Rolling myself in the dirt
Yeah in this mess i'm only able to hurt myself
And now in our ghostly world I'm alone left to wander.
