lyrics

Hello there,
my love/
Let me write to you
a word or two/

I feel a dull sensation/
The parasite's latched to my chest/
It catches drips of my fixation/
Keeping me depressed/
I channel all these memories/
Every one's an open door/
You've always stood right by the window/
In both my mind and yours/
I take all the inspiration/
All of it before it rains/
I throw colour on this canvas/
and your face shines through the frame/

A steel sky
is drawn apart,
pouring reflections
from two broken hearts/
I hold the snow
in my hands and I pray
that I'm not the first one
that you've taken away/

Tug at the strings that hold me/
Run me 'round a circle's face/
Though I no longer see you,
you still put me in my place/

I'm aware of present irony/
If you recall, I found it hard to choose/
The flash in my mind spoke to me,
though both decisions were to lose/

Belief in consequence/
And positive reactions/

You always were my love/
How am I to follow you up?/

They can never be
loved by anyone
when they hold on
to everything/
They can never be
loved by anyone
when they keep holding on
to everything that's gone/
[X2]
