lyrics

I can't sleep
Through the darkness of the keep,
and the angel on my shoulder is much more older
than the demons in my head.
Oh, I'm better off dead with how these nights have been carrying on.

This castle's a ruin.
This hallway's a void.
These walls are closing in and I don't have a choice.
They said they'd be here.
They said I'd be fine.
But shadows hush whispers and I can't remember their names.

The nightfall brings desire
It kills the sunrise fire.
Along with all the things I'd never leave behind.
These words are hard to say.
Placate the water back to grey.
This paper can't carry the weight of my reasons why.

And for once in my life I would like to know
what these walls could say,
but they lied and I tried
to comprehend how this all would end,
and for once I'm scared I can't enshrine.

I finally came home unto an empty bed
and I have barely slept with all these demons in my head.
The shadows kept me warm.
They crawled under the sheets.
They came with open arms while you sat and you watched me bleed.

The nightfall brings desire
It kills the sunrise fire.
Along with all the things I'd never leave behind.
These words are hard to say.
Placate the water back to grey.
This paper can't carry the weight of my reasons why.

I've been dying to hear your voice.
I've been dying to see your face.
I've been dying to taste your smoke,
but all I ever do is choke.

I've been dying to taste your kiss
I've been dying to move on from this
I've been dying to touch your lips
I've been dying.

(I have lived in sin.
The last match is burning
And while my lungs fill with smoke)
Take a drag just to smoke out the pain.
Breathe it out into my lungs to make me feel the same.
Oh God what I would give for just one cigarette now.

(Ill at ease, white sunrise.
Southpaw sleeps with longing,
And what it takes to choke)
You've blackened my eyes
my lungs
You've left me with so many words unsung.
Oh God what I would give for just one cigarette now.
