These floods of you are unforgiving Pushing passed me spilling through the banks And I fall Faster than light and faster than time That's how memory works
Übersetzung: Konvergieren. Jane Doe.
Death to cowards, traitors, and empty words To those adorned with the touch of rose petals And the blessed gift of forgetfulness For these are your years
Dear, I'll stay gold just to keep these pasts at bay To keep the loneliest of nights from claiming you and to keep these longest of days from waking
You were most beautiful as the damage and the trauma Pounding hard with battered wings of destiny You were my last great war You were my heaven ablaze
And like that heart that got in the way I'll become the lost cause The child of burden and rage Like the distance in your touch Like the years we burned
Cheap lips, soft eyes, lost in the most blinding lights As cold as those first nights alone As the second best he'll become Sleep deep, girl, dream well
Death was just a simple glance across a dim lit room And those eyes did it Those three words did it Those three words killed him And I surrender to it
I have bled and I have given the longest of rivers and the longest of ropes And you're not grasping and my light is sinking on the horizon Knee deep
These floods of you are unforgiving Pushing passed me spilling through the banks And I fall Faster than light and faster than time That's how memory
She burns as bright as the sun and she falls darker than night She shines as light as these days And she fades faster than time Phoenix in flames
And I write this to you my dear For your eyes alone I'm out of heart and these tanks are low So cast your days to flame And set your phoenix to flight
Those nights we had and the trust we lost The sleep that fled me and the heart I lost It all reminds me Just how callous and heartless the true cowards
