lyrics

Dirty electric sunrise gold
Dreams of nothing stained and cold
Revival pyres in the sun again, she never feels the slivers
She makes it so easy to lie when she always asks you to forgive her
Liquid black on the river bank, the cyanide of a lover's tear
Ask of truth and when I answer, listen to the wind and pretend you can't hear
Sister you can't hear
Scream another lullaby to me
Comfort in the false reality
Addiction
Autumn breeds sweet carrion
Rejected pale beautiful sin
Her tongue is cold on my skin
Veinblossom wet with real joy
You always were my favorite toy
The air is different out here tonight, heavy with a taste of soured dreams
Promises wrote and forged to my name, she cuts herself on the broken edge
The casualties reach the heavens, who couldn't see this come and go?
Turnabout taken to the tenfold but irony is not a word you'd ever know
So much you'd never know
Out from the sky
Cut your losses now and say goodbye
Forget my name
If I promise that I'll do the same
