lyrics

He goes in my stead
and steady this holds
when I was so ready
to break down these walls

a treason hidden underneath
the solitary suffering
uncovered it and let it sit
now it’s got the best of me

forced on by the choices I made
your trembling voice is the ghost that haunts me

travelling through my mind
passed my neck and down my spine
I felt it in my chest but I’m not compulsive
broke my stride to clear my mind
solemn saunter, checked my pride
calling out all my cliches
I guess we’ll take this day by day

I’m just killing time
enough to break the focus
I’m choking on another twisted tongue
we’ve broken everything we came to love

close my eyes and fall asleep
escape this black ceiling
my eyes lay beneath

still wearing this chain around my neck
cause its the only thing that I’ve got left
I’d like to change the way I think
but I can’t promise anything

We can’t promise anything

no I won’t paint this picture
like I’m some kind of victim
but don’t take my words and
poison and twist them
I know you told yourself it's for the best
and I was stupid to just go along with it
shedding light on places where I should fade out
and now I’ve gotta find a way to let this shade out

I’m just killing time.

First heard these guys when I found "Consumed" off of the Cultural Divide EP. So talented in instrumentals, vocals, lyrics. Can't say enough about these guys. Beyond incredible. Damian Dauphin
