The Devil You Don't
Watching love through a one-way screen
From my tree-top sanctuary
Overwhelmed but so alone
And hollow to the bone
Life in a thousand tiny lights
And a thousand bloodshot nights
Just as dead men feel no pain
I felt nothing till she came home
Bathed in her glow
Staring through endless midnight
Longing for her touch
This pain is too much
Her silence a warning sign of suffering yet to come
Nest in my mind wrapped up in my desire
Forever won't be enough
Deprived of your love
I'm a discarded memory buried in the snow
Call unto me еcho of peace
My nightmares cеase
I'm helpless kneeling before you
Dust for skin
Become the ghost from lifeless eyes
My body is her host
She's the crawling of skin
Withdrawal without the sin
She's the sick before the feast
The corpse feeding the beast
She's my hunger and thirst
This migraine her curse
I'll forfeit my self to sing praise to her verse
Could mold and change my nothing into pride
Blank and tearless eyes
That shy away and wither in the light
And cannot say goodbye
Maligned her undoing
The scent of her soul in our dwelling
Thoughtless company
A taste of the real grave lights bring her back to me
Nightly as I chase her shape
I can't explain how cold I am
When I touch her empty light
She recoils from my hand
Dark endless burrow eyes staring lifeless
Dead never rotting
I've fallen into bliss
Fragmented sanity
A remnant of my mind in your machine
Profound mania
In the end I could never forget her eyes
Her verse could mold and change my nothing into pride
Blank and tearless eyes
That shy away and wither in the light
And cannot say goodbye
What am I?
From my tree-top sanctuary
Overwhelmed but so alone
And hollow to the bone
Life in a thousand tiny lights
And a thousand bloodshot nights
Just as dead men feel no pain
I felt nothing till she came home
Bathed in her glow
Staring through endless midnight
Longing for her touch
This pain is too much
Her silence a warning sign of suffering yet to come
Nest in my mind wrapped up in my desire
Forever won't be enough
Deprived of your love
I'm a discarded memory buried in the snow
Call unto me еcho of peace
My nightmares cеase
I'm helpless kneeling before you
Dust for skin
Become the ghost from lifeless eyes
My body is her host
She's the crawling of skin
Withdrawal without the sin
She's the sick before the feast
The corpse feeding the beast
She's my hunger and thirst
This migraine her curse
I'll forfeit my self to sing praise to her verse
Could mold and change my nothing into pride
Blank and tearless eyes
That shy away and wither in the light
And cannot say goodbye
Maligned her undoing
The scent of her soul in our dwelling
Thoughtless company
A taste of the real grave lights bring her back to me
Nightly as I chase her shape
I can't explain how cold I am
When I touch her empty light
She recoils from my hand
Dark endless burrow eyes staring lifeless
Dead never rotting
I've fallen into bliss
Fragmented sanity
A remnant of my mind in your machine
Profound mania
In the end I could never forget her eyes
Her verse could mold and change my nothing into pride
Blank and tearless eyes
That shy away and wither in the light
And cannot say goodbye
What am I?
