Lyrics
Cutthroat Collapse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Those words seemed so sincere
And I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
I can still hear the trees
At my back and haunting me.
Unafraid, unaffected,
This has all gone so wrong.
Under this December sky,
I walked away compromised,
Counting steps, of what's left
To bring this all to an end
Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
It's not a game to me)
Pictures on the drivers seat
So now we we will both kill the messenger
It's such a blur
You didn't even see
This meant everything to me
Invisible, plans you made
Deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
But disappearing
If it's grey then
Just leave it
Some colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
That's what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
Claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
To shield yourself from the blame

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
It's not a game to me)
Pictures on the drivers seat
Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe
Invisible, plans you made
Deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
But disappearing
Those words seemed so sincere,
In this shallow sea I drown.
You want to run and hide to catch your breath
(This can't be happening)
But why don't you come inside and capture all that's left
(This can't be happening)
Capture all that's left
(Oh, but this is happening)
I don't want to wait for this
A ruined list, the longing kiss
Making all the moments last
As if we had, the sentiment
Yearning for the sound
Breaking from the crowd
Leaving all the cynics
Racing for the finish
Time runs
Time runs
Time runs
time runs out
If I should die
If I should. (x4)
