lyrics

Verse:
This is where we stand, we're hanging off the ledge
The hand that clings to life, (is gripped) around my neck
When was the last time, you could look me in the eyes?
The mouth that speaks of love, is (the same) that tells me lies
It fucking tells me lies

Build-up:
We said we'd never be like them
But look at us now
You said you'd never stoop so low
But it's just who you are
I could fall down and beg you
But it's not what you want to hear
You'd rather turn your back
And hope I disappear

Chorus:
I can't hear your voice but the words still haunt me
Sorrow raining down like dirt upon the grave
Taking back the life you tried to steal away
Lay me down to rest cold and empty


Breakdown:
Contriver, I'm glad to see you gone
I've fallen to the depths, but I'm far from done
Contriver, you're weaker than you think
We've risen to such heights , but now you sink


Chorus:
I can't hear your voice but the words still haunt me
Sorrow raining down like dirt upon the grave
Taking back the life you tried to steal away
Lay me down to rest cold and empty


Verse 2:
Staring at the skyline, within the symmetry of trees
A life without these hollow words, I've never felt so free
Maybe you'll learn one day, mistake after mistake
Maybe you'll find heart, when you've finally felt the weight

Outro:
I'm coming home again
