A Pale Light Lingers

Another day dragged on into sleepless nights
I wish I knew no stars when the sky grows dark
Each one a reminder of all that we are (all that we are)
And how it fell apart

Monument to every meaningless goodbye
And a purpose I have yet to find
A pale light lingers no matter where I hide
Are you ready for truth and pain to be the same?
The difference between you and me
Is my reality was never gonna be your dream

The roots of you run with ruin
Nothing here will grow
A golden room painted with fire
A life lived with nothing to show

Torches light the path
To absolution and ash
I am your sacrifice
I am yours

Unwilling and unmourned
Heart and soul tattered and torn (tattered and torn)
I fucking burned for you

Choking down the flames of regret (fuck it)
Black smoke fills the sky with who I've been
I don't forget, and I'd rather be dead than forgive

The roots of you run with ruin
Nothing here will grow
Red shores splash against my skin
Under the shadows of your face
You were supposed to save me

The roots of you run with ruin
Nothing here will grow
A golden room painted with fire
A life lived with nothing to show
Will you leave the ones you love (love)
And let them escape to a place you can't touch
Or is that not good enough for you? (For you)

Too many years spent feeling fucking worthless
Corruptions of form
Infect, kill, repeat!
