Back to black and fading it's been a long time
Chasing all the edges of your sins
Time comes back to haunt me and every choice is bound in blood
Every path another raindrop and we are drowning in the flood
Back to black remember we are captives
Every whisper cuts away from within
I cannot forget you and I cannot leave you here
While the silent cold that built me begs me to cut you down in fear
This tear is rough and reckless
It was made to leave a scar
And it's pulling at the remnants
Of who we were and what we are
I am
You are
I taste the sheen of metal
In the patterns of your breath
This vessel gives no answer
And the template resets
Don't mistake the dark for an ending
It's a pause between steps of a dance
Don't mistake your instinct for reason
Eternity lies in every chance
Don't try to slip away
I could be caught up in the fray
I could choose nothing next to you
I could get used to the abuse
Somewhere dark and somewhere warm
I am becoming the new norm
Unfurl my wings become the sun
You will be dead when I am done
Show me all your mirrors
(Another face the saving grace is buried in your chest where I left the blade)
With fragments of you within
(On the table up the stairs run my fingers through your hair)
The threads of me unravel
(I cannot hope to find what's left behind, another chance to hit rewind)
As I'm spiraling back in
(Every time i hide you hunt me down, you call me in you call me out)
This tear was made with purpose
Part of me inside of you
So many threads are tangled
I've forgotten which are true
I am
You are
A million branches ending
Finding pathways through dark
Every footstep brings us closer
But somehow still leaves us apart
Show me all your branches
Your canopies unfurled
Armor up for battle
It's us against the world
Don't mistake the choice for decision
It's a way to cope with the loss
Don't become the thing that they worship
You are so much more than a god
I am
You are
I am
You are
