lyrics

i'm not giving up.
no matter how many times,
i'm waking up face down,
staring into your dead eyes.
sleep next to me,
just to feel my body dissolve next to yours.
and all I'm wondering
is how washed up I'll be.

i'll speak through your tongue,
just to hear myself lie every second.
when I'm holding the hands of fate,
yours are the hands I'll let go of.

here comes that feeling
you thought you'd forgotten
getting sight back
in a blind world

i'm giving all that I have,
while you're giving me what's left of you.
i'm giving all that I have.

oh please just -
say something, say something else
than all these paperthin lies
i want to find forgiveness
just to keep you away from me
say something, say something else
your words are suffocating.
every time, I look at you,
all I see, a dark fucking end.

i'm giving all that I have,
while you're giving what's left of you.

here comes that feeling
you thought you'd forgotten
getting sight back
in a blind world x2

scarred with the pain of knowing,
her eyes are like gallows.
all the lovers in your trophy case,
all the weights in your buried heart.
you, me, and love,
will never see the light of day.
