lyrics

/
I was blinded by the colour.
Happiness is just a gleam in the cave.
Save your bullets for tomorrow.
There’s no friend behind the curtain.

These rules are sacred.
We’ll never stop the clock unless we break it.

Don’t leave before I can find a reason to stare again at the mirror.
I question my decisions night and day.
We’ve seen the castle become a prison.
I’ll take you home with my dying breath.
We can build a shelter anywhere.

Throw my body into this hole.
I’m better off alone.
We’not the same.

I can’t repair a shattered sky.
My hands will bleed all through the night.
Your wisdom is not divine at all.
Will you break the silence?

I’m sinking once again.
There’s nothing we can save from the rain.

Don’t leave before I can find a reason to stare again at the mirror.
I question my decisions night and day.
We’ve seen the castle become a prison.
I’ll take you home with my dying breath.
We will burn the fleet but not today.
Embrace the violence.

I’ll dig a grave out there.
Blame yourself.

Now the perfect ceiling’s falling apart.
I never complained.
How long will i be remembered?

So drain my blood, I’m leaving this angst aside.

Ignite the last crown.
We’re gonna drag the bones back into the sea.
I’ll keep my head down.
A promise in the darkness is all I need.

Will you just confess?
There is nothing left to say.
We were never blessed.

Growl louder.
