Lyrics
They Told Me You Were Dead
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.
Your twisted thoughts like a thorn in my side,
Discover my thought for the day.
With one more breath, closer to you,
Embeded in torture...
A gaze that caused a thousand corpses,
Rotting like a smoldering mound.
(The lifeless movement you encounter will never shine)
An open wound you show me, inviting,
This time I'll refuse again
A mockery that brings its false hopes
And a lie to yourself.
We never thought it'd come to this,
Hating the people that help us!
You'll understand, my lies are true,
So underline the destruction of who?
Too many times these words denied,
Spinning back and away from the few...
The few that deserve our time.
(A project is happening)
They told me you were dead.
They told me you were dead!
A blistering palm that ropes still burn,
Hold on to what you can.
Nothing but thread slips through your fingers,
It's time to let go now....
Now you are, you're gone!
Now you are, fucking dead!
An open life, you taunt me.
This time I'll refuse again...
Like the dying branches of an autumn tree,
We slowly whither away.
Stand in line and do as they say...
How did this happen?
Pressing our backs against the wall,
Ready for intimidation.
Belong to the future or cease to exist!
