lyrics

Forgive the things I've never said to you...
I'm sorry
I tried to hold on, you were gone (goodbye)
The day has passed the sun has set
I'm broken standing all alone
Fill it up all the space in my heart (sleep sound)
Rest in your fables a nightmare...
Hide away you push it down so deep inside in fear
That these secrets you
Lock up tight then close your eyes
Will it compromise and take you over
Come quick the world's collapsing in on me
Under my feet
Only you can hold me up...my cornerstone
An opening that's closed again
I'm stretching standards lowering
A consequence that's on the edge of breaking me down
Rest in your fables, a nightmare...
Heaven won't save us from falling...
The hours passed the sun has set
And slowly I watch it all drain into one
In a succession of irreversible time
My words become incoherent babble
A subtle hue of apathy mixed with the overtone of regret
Bloodshot eyes accompanied by the ritual signs of grief
I feel no pulse of life....
Everything I fear
I'm telling you angels couldn't hear
You're screaming at the top of your lungs
Get it out
All the words that fail
Filled and finally
Rest assure all these lies
Taken in, and they compromise
Me
And you
And I couldn't say anything
