lyrics

You can’t keep giving in to fate
When you streamlined out of your cavalcade,
You can’t even remember the words you said
Kiss me once before you leave
We’re all liars and thieves marching into the sea
You’re all waging a war to belittle me

The memory escapes me
The drowning brain in my skull

For tomorrow is the day she leaves,
And simply you just cannot see
That she will never be able to erase you
Casting pearls out of rain
Waiting
Hoping

You can’t keep giving in to fate
When you streamlined out of your cavalcade,
You can’t even remember the words you said
Kiss me once before you leave
We’re all liars and thieves marching into the sea
You’re all waging a war to belittle me

The memory escapes me
The drowning brain in my skull

I never win, even when I do
I looked into the mirror
My reflection is misshapen
(Barely, I become. Why am I so dumb?)
I was the human sum
And now my eyes go numb
(Barely, I become. Why am I so numb?)

Cuz tonight I won’t be wearing white
And you always used to run the shore
But similar to my second sight,
You breed of passion, midst of flight

Memory abandons me
I’m trapped inside this cage
Cerebral shifts and guillotines
Leave wounds upon my own screenplay
What I’d give to have you here
Your eyes a T.V. screen
Bandage me in newspaper
Like a gift on Christmas Day

(Oh, Why don’t you answer my call?)

Just know these broken wings will heal
And when your bones begin to mend,
Blackened wings will turn to white
And from my bed I’ll fly away

Wish upon this burning house
That you’d wake up okay
How could he abandon you?
Just know that I am here to stay

You can’t keep giving in to fate
When you streamlined out of your cavalcade,
You can’t even remember the words you said
Kiss me once before you leave
We’re all liars and thieves marching into the sea
