lyrics

The line’s gone dead, the wind’s gone still, the trail’s gone cold
The walls came down, the mind it reels, the heart’s on hold
The rest is posthumous

Deserted miles of wasted light
Distended by encroaching night
A ration for the wolves

A monograph of mangled lies
I swear I swear I swear I tried
To spin this straw back into gold

The best intentions are buried between
The needles I say and the daggers I mean

The end of the world passed by with a whimper
No blood from the stone, each sin to the sinner
I won’t be coming back for you

I’m a shape drawn without a form
I’m a shade with no color shown
I’m surrounded and I’m so alone
A solitaire in crowded homes

I speak the language of the last year’s words
I reap the whirlwind of a heart unstirred
The first truth, always so absurd
The hell it goes on undeterred

The worst intentions are buried between
The depth of my pride and the skin of my teeth
