lyrics

When you left my world, I existed desperate to shed my skin
After all our work, I was left with something that I couldn't give
To anyone but you

When I sought nouvelle, all I knew revolved around trying to resurrect
A sickly memory, of what its like for someone to spend time with me
A girl as sweet as she
With a fucked up boy like me

I won't love, anyone ever again
Broken once, this heart won't mend

I won't love, anyone ever again
Broke once, beyond repair
How can I trust, you with my heart when nothing feels permanent
I won't love, anyone ever again


A voice inside me said
Delve into the truth of who you are, peel back the mask and see what's beneath
You will find what you've avoided is the very essence of that which you are

When I heard that call, I curled and burrowed back into the cosmic fold
As the moon spun weeks, (I couldn't let it go)
I prised my grip from everything I'd claimed to know
But instead of feeling free, I was still bound to me
My I stayed shut, am I a lock built for death's key?


When I clawed back from below
I'd lost my youth, saw rubble strewn where once lay gold
A saving seraph latched to me
But all that I could think of was what it could be
Is this wisdom, yearning ghost ache
Where colours bleed and drain, leave grey, all vibrance fades
She pleads, "What is it that you seek?"
I lash, "To feed the beast in me that naught will sate"

And I still have countless stones to bleed
But only a lifetime's nights to do it on my own
I leave a grey stone above me
As proof of my existence in this world

Its all I leave, as proof of me
My legacy, amongst the weeds

I won't love anyone ever again
In life I hid, without the strength
To trust someone and give my heart
Create something permanent
And now I won't love anyone ever again
