lyrics

“I never thought it’d come to this,” is all that you can say, but the statements carved into your face (“I can’t explain…”) reveal more than all your words could ever hope to. And hope is something you’ve learned to live without.

You thought that you were in control. You thought that you were fine. But the steering wheel’s come off in your hands. Now the sparks outside the window light up your face as your lips repeat a single phrase: “this is all wrong…”

And while she always tells you: “there’s nothing there to hide”, there’s something different in her eyes. It feels like you’ve been holding on to the ghost of what she was. (the ghost of a ghost of…) What’s left of her. (What’s left of you?)

And tell me, is it fair? Or is the truth as bitter as eaten fire?
Tell me! Fear not that I should quaver, for I dare - I dare.

(Faster than these pills you swallow faster than your eyes can close.)
