Lyrics
Skyscrapers - are crumbling - mountains move in my path The streets lights - are twisting - pulling me to the earth My veins are anchored in this city - I am defeated by this lack of conviction
I am crushed - by 800 miles - eyes widened in self loathing When the fucking dirt proves stronger Than the most pure emotion that I've ever fucking had So what is left in life - but my destruction? Why do my lungs still gasp - when I no longer breathe for you? Where is the truth in my existence - when I have been cut off from Your tender fingertips - all that I've known falls down around me Every twisting tree and dead end street reminding me of you Taking me back A year My life crawls on without you - amongst the endless snowing sheets Disheartening moments of salvation come to me only when I am asleep I no longer stomach the denial - hiding the weakness of my being The day to day has been a slow blur since you left Only (your) forgiveness sets me free Free The bridges - collapsing - hillsides are growing fast The pavement - is shifting - quicksand controls my will I question life and its true meaning I am defeated by this feebleness of will Frenzied thoughts arrest my mind As I descend towards my eminent destruction The only thing I can rely on - when I lie even to myself Skyscrapers - are crumbling - mountains are closing in my path The streets lights - are twisting - pulling me to the earth My veins are anchored in this city I am defeated by this lack of conviction Am I already dead? I proceed hollow - unloved I am our burnt out memory - self muutilation is my mainstay Tear me away - from the pictures of your face Pry my eyes from your written word Tear me away - from the bondage of regret Convince me that I am alive This is the end - the end of everything All I held dear - has slipped from my grasp This is the end - the end of everything All whom I've loved - are fucking memories This is the end - the end of everything As I am ripe - for this demise This is the end - this is the end of everything I kneel - godless and beaten I long for moments when my eyes aren't blinded by emptiness
