lyrics

“In Desperation We Reach”

Scrub the scent from her skin
Her personal apocalypse
One glimpse of perfection
Reduced to all her failings

She can’t be anything

A moment of truth crushed under its weight

Scrub the scent from her skin

The only heart she has broken is her own

In her kiss beware the taste of lies, I can recall a touch of suicide
And she said, “In desperation we reach”
In those arms that is where I died and on her kiss, a taste of suicide
And she said, “In desperation we stumble”

We stumble, we fall

And she said, she said to me…
She needs better but I am just worse

“Wounds Worn as Badges”

Skin rubbed raw, drenched in hate, there’s a lack of poetry in her prose
This hate never healed, the absence burns her throat, chokes the words

Loathe the day she’s drowning on the thoughts she can’t speak to her
Wounds worn as badges turned to weights
Such beauty only rapes

These are the nights without end, she would say she’s suffered but it has yet to begin

Drained of empathy, she feels nothing

Lie to me

We make time or make excuses still the blame slips away
This Northern hostility, her only gift to give
Past their prime but still were swallowed, she doesn’t want to be saved
In her hair a lifeless flower, in her shattered heart…

Love left to rot

The sight would rend hearts, if she could see what she has become
If she could
