lyrics

I’ve been staying up late fighting figures with crosshairs, and sometimes you’d come to mind.
I’ve been praying you’d wait finding reasons in nowhere, and sometimes they’re hard to find.

I’ve been forgetting dates, dusting bookshelves with cobwebs, and that’s when you tried to stay.
I’ve been calling you fake hollow crosses you won’t bare, and that’s when you walked away.

And you said that drowning was the quickest way to the bottom of the lake, and you were right. Those city lights just don’t compare to the shallow water’s shimmer in the middle of the night when the stars look like reasons to fly. You always said there’s something stupid about me and I’d never know why.

I’ve been straining my eyes, internet, escape life. And sometimes I’d fall asleep. I’ve been maintaining face, silent struggle and quiet nights, and sometimes it’s hard to keep.

I’ve been telling you lies, concentrating on past lives, and sometimes I’d lose a day. I’ve been calling you fake hollow crosses you won’t bare, and that’s when you walked away.

I had a dream this would sink. A few chains short of a link. So tell me now what do you think? You said that you couldn't bare.

I gave you fake hollow crosses, that you couldn't bare.

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
