lyrics

i could not look away
from the face you made

i watch my
my thoughts turn into shame
with the lights off
i was calling out your name
like a gunshot
the feeling’s stayed the same
how could I
cause someone else this pain?

drown in light it’s half past noon
spend three days in just one room
an absence speaks, I see it’s face
the center moves from place to place

i’ve been culling my mind
with a scalpel in hand
the corners are bleeding
i don’t understand
the way I just stood there
leaving you damned

drown in light it’s half past noon
spend three days in just one room
an absence speaks, I see it’s face
the center moves from place to place
