this darkening winter blows across my aching heart
|
my strength is ebbing, my soul is coming further and further apart
|
I've never seen a drier season, never known such burning heat
|
and just beyond the door, the constant reminders of defeat
|
|
I sometimes don't want to believe that all we were has come to this
|
all my hopes, all your promises so easily dismissed
|
you hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see
|
and all these things are all you want and none of them are me
|
|
this feeling is fading, this promise lied, this soul has nothing to feel inside
|
these friends forget, these stars will fall, these words mean nothing to you at all
|
this child is abandoned, this dark burns clear, the one who believed in me disappears
|
this love is over, this endless dread is all I have left to feel instead
|
|
oh, it grows upon you like a raven perched above your door
|
it meets you face to face but always leaves you face down on the floor
|
never summon what you cannot dismiss it goes on with every kiss
|
like shadows of all that came before it stays with you forevermore
|
