From the recording Callously Compassionate
Lyrics
LYRICS:
I loaded the gun
The cold metal stings
I held it to your heart
I promised you your wings
You begged me not to shoot
"please don't let me die"
I watched the light leave
From the oceans of your eyes
In your arms
I could see
You and me
At the end of it all
I could break
You could fall
I can't save
You won't call
We're alone
Your heart was a home, now a gravesite to me
Trapped in a prison I’ve locked ourselves into
Left with a corpse of the sin of me loving you
It’s all of what you want and none of mine
I used to pick the petals, but the roses died
The devil’s smile with a love so divine
I’ve lived a thousand lives and bled a thousand times for you
In your arms
I could see
You and me
At the end of it all
I could break
You could fall
I can't save
You won't call
We're alone
(An eye for an eye, a soul for a soul)
Some days I miss you
As you live in my head
As the waves of the water consume you
You reached your hand out and I let you drown, instead
I let you drown, instead
