lyrics
How are we such strangers now?
Broken history so far down.
Do you recognize all the ways that I’ve tried to make you proud?
Can you see me through the lies?
A final oath between our lives.
Golden ichor running from the wound I carved across your eyes.
If I forsake morning light
will you promise not to die?
The ghost of who you thought I was
lost itself free-falling under the sun.
I wear too many names.
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Take what’s left of me.
There’s only so much a traitor can be.
Please, lend me your strength.
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest.
Arrows forged in blood and fire.
One true confession from a liar.
Tear me open, watch me bleed as heaven’s flames ignite my pyre.
Handprint bruises on my skin
of who I was and where I’ve been.
Bury me under the name of my rebirth before my sins.
If I learn to speak at last
Can you forgive my bloody past?
The ghost of who you thought I was
lost itself free-falling under the sun.
I wear too many names.
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Take what’s left of me.
There’s only so much a traitor can be.
Please, lend me your strength.
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest.
Bloodstained promise save me now
Just another path for me to fall down, down.
I can’t be the person you deserve.
I keep on fighting even though it hurts. Ooh.
Your light, so divine.
I can’t close my eyes.
The ghost of who you thought I was
lost itself free-falling under the sun.
I wear too many names.
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Take what’s left of me.
There’s only so much a traitor can be.
Please, lend me your strength.
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest.
