The Middle Goes Down
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.
Cold winter cuts - a heart that couldn't heal
Destroyed by it's own stupidity
A frozen smile - cracks backing frigid lies
I shelter beneath a veil of happiness - a delicate facade
And snow falls as to bury what we had
Everything we left behind
Although your loving eyes - have left my gaze forever
They've been captured in my sleep - although this vacant heart
Can't go on any longer - i feel your soft breath in my dreams
But it shall not be - i cannot shake these feelings
I can't renounce - this love for you is all i know
I am controlled by sorrow - my hope forever lost
Bested by my weakness - will the spring's warmth never come?
And the snow
Still heaping on this broken back
I am lost within its persistence
You took the meaning
From this withered soul
I have no strength without your touch
And so it was - and can never be again
And so it was - and will never ever be again.
Lost - this love for you is all i know.
Weakness - will the spring's warmth never come?
A little child crying - from the bunk below
I still love you - i can't cut that tie from my life
Love born in regret? was our blight carved into stone?
The stone that lines my heart - i wish i never loved you
Cold sweat and eaten nails - i did this all for you.
A broken heart - a clenched fist full of hair - i did this all for you
And any other embrace - will just turn into shit
In the shadow of our former love
I'd trade a bloody wrist - to live forever in those nights
But the deed hath still been done
