Song Lyrics

Fresh starts from burnt ends
My body can't stand strong
To reminisce is to give in
A hand in the present
A foot in the past
A thirst to move forward
But your demons keep holding us back

Melt away become estranged
Waiting on a sign
A reason to remain
By your side
By your side

And I know that
I can't hide behinds words
Are you just being cruel to be cruel?
Blue was a color I thought I knew
But every kiss hits like a bullet
It pierces through
Sorrow likes the lines on your palm
I stood by as it grew

Whispers in the attic
A green glow spills and colors this place
One step closer to the edge
Nowhere feels safe
The mechanics of disdain
Will only fail you

And I know that
I can't hide behinds words
Are you just being cruel to be cruel?
Blue was a color I thought I knew
But every kiss hits like a bullet
It pierces through
Sorrow likes the lines on your palm
I stood by as it grew

Crisis of faith
I won't hide in the folds
Scratch at the walls
To get to the core
Come as you were
As I want you to be
Fire to the fall
To get to the core

And I know that
I can't hide behinds words
Are you just being cruel to be cruel?
Blue was a color I thought I knew
But every kiss hits like a bullet
It pierces through
Sorrow likes the lines on your palm
I stood by as it grew

I can't hide behinds words
Are you just being cruel to be cruel?
Blue was a color I thought I knew
But every kiss hits like a bullet
It pierces through
Sorrow likes the lines on your palm
I stood by as it grew
