The sand runs through my veins; a replicated warmth
Displaced and unafraid - the separator formed
Fall right through my hands, erased singularity
Entwined in lethargy
The stone I threw myself
Blades jutting from the maw: coarse in finality
Lamps lit against the frost - a shroud through which I see
Waste away the years, and still without a cause
This tattered standard a love for which we've fought
We're faking, boarded up and laced with hate
Forsaking the promise of your divine estate
I did this to myself
I made it seem okay
I tied the noose myself
I hung it with the weight
Still aching, commiserate my memory
Earth shaking beneath the souls of swinging feet
Float along the brink of madness, and with this shred of doubt...
Swingin' and swayin' - you're swingin' for me
I did this to myself
I made it seem okay
I tied the noose myself
I hung it with the weight of a life without you.
