If I were made of steel you wouldn't have to bend my will. I'm as fragile as the wings that I made for you when you so loved me still.

I lie awake conjuring the words I did not say. If everyday is exactly the same and I feel I'm going down. I look to the grass that always seems to grow right in the crack between the road so I seal them up before I go away. Where all things disappear under clouds and wings of steel. Can't go all I got living underground. Try to conquer the feeling of being surrounded yet I am all alone and missing a foreign sun and the warmth of it on my back.

Ivory 04:37
And I won't look to the drawer where I retired a life for us. Where we sleep I constantly find your hair tucked in the sheets. Is this who you wanted to be like a melody that breaks me down? And the sound of its harsh to the ear but infectious nonetheless. Somehow I can't break the fever. She taped my heart to the keys, played until it makes me bleed. When I needed to heal you dug into the scar. Every time your name spilled from my mouth that's when I began to feel like the weight that everyone else had to drag around but I still let him in, and i shook his hand with his twisted intent. She taped my heart to the keys, played until it makes me bleed. When I needed to heal you dug into the scar. You dug right into them. And after it all you cracked a grin. But I let him in and I shook his hand, didn't know we were nearing the end. Disappear for days on end, tell me not to worry he's only a friend. And I let him in, and I shook his hand, with his twisted intention. And I filled up the bath with a piece of steel regretting the time that I let it go on. I let it go on.

Love The Sin 05:31
Make me a monolith. Solidify a sinner. Sing your prayers through my bitten lips. Make me the catalyst. The reason for your habits. Sing your prayers when all the room twists. Then you call me a hypocrite, the reason you're still bitter. Sing your prayers if the shoe fits. Call me a hypnotist, the reason you still shiver. Scream my name when the clock ticks. Just as you pick the roses the thorns get their grip on you. Just as the door has opened the room doesn't have the view that you wanted. This house is haunted and I know why the truth is lost on you. Make the subject, paint me into a corner in the frame that's lost it's luster. Won't you make me suffer? Do your worst under the covers. Scream my name when you're with your lover. And you call me a hypocrite, the reason your're still bitter. Sing your prayers if the shoe fits, yeah. Call me a hypnotist, the reason you still shiver. Then scream my name when you're with your lover. Just as you pick the roses the thorns get their grip on you. Just as the door has opened the room doesn't have the view that you wanted. This house is haunted and i know why the truth is lost on you.
