Nerve Damage

Hide your face because it gives you away
The falsified moments begin to decay
A sensation we both know
This constant ache that only you show

We're chasing a feeling so much deeper than sorrow
We're chasing this feeling a sensation that I know
As I wander through these empty rooms
Scratching at the walls still no sense of you
Is this the move that you chose to make
Every instinct you lack you fake
The way we used to stare it feels gone to me
Don't act so unaware
You're the epitome of every reason that I tried to leave
A shining example of our misery

I know you think that I'm the one who's walking away
But you are, you are the one who's leaving
Face the facts turn your back you've got nothing to say
Shallow steps keep walking your own way
Doors locked lights off pass the champagne

Toxicity compulsion giving you direction
How do I live viewing you as perfection
And this is what you have shown
Lying through your teeth to take back what you owe
As we fabricate the facade that you hold in the back of your mind it will fade
From gold to rust I watched you change a touch that I could never shake
Shut down torn out with no way to heal
What's the point in pretending if it's never been real

As you walk away my holiday
But I hope you find yourself and in a better place
I know you think that I'm the one who's walking away
But you are, you are the one who's leaving
Face the facts turn your back you've got nothing to say
Shallow steps keep walking your own way
Doors locked lights off pass the champagne
Doors locked lights off pass the champagne
