about

This tune is about a fading love that stretched for far too long, yet the struggle to keep what little remains of it alive.

lyrics

Lie
It won't hurt right away
Or please
Cover both my ears and
Say what you ought to say
Oh please
Cover both my ears and
Let's live another day
I wish there was another way

I know this shit can't last forever
Oh baby I pray
I'm holding on but how much longer
Until we break

Frightening how fall fools no feathered creatures still you're falling
Or maybe your kind of angel was never meant for flying
Or maybe your mind's all tangled, the cold season's 'round the corner

Days are getting shorter better find a shelter, before time gets the better
Of the thin line you're tiptoeing over
Trip and there'll be no starting over no getting older
Slip and you'll be tripping under days you thought were done and over

It's true, after laughter comes the tears, comes the blue
An ocean with no captain, a fish with no crew there is no reasoning
No seasoning, tell me the truth raw cold and bleeding
Draw me a sunset with charcoal no colors needed

I close my eyes and see it please please please you pleaded
Depleted of emotions I stared back, cold and without motion
Your eyes an ocean, your eyes, an ocean

Maybe we said sorry too many times maybe not enough or often
On and off, and don't tell me when you'll find him
The hate inside it's a lake, the sea of fears
I'm top of my list so if you see these tears cover both my ears

I know this shit can't last forever
Oh baby I pray
I'm holding on but how much longer
Until we break
I know this shit can't last forever
Oh baby I pray
I'm holding on but how much longer
Until we break
