Track 4 from the E.P. "Old Haunts" by The Empty Bodies
lyrics
This darkness from within has taken over again, a fearless, heartless force that lingers long after the damage is done, and the regrets start building, until it starts to sink in, that this was never about me, and now I can't stop seeing that look of worry on your, and now I can't stop hearing the words, that never left my mouth, seeing that look of worry on your, and now I can't stop hearing the words, that never left my mouth.
Hiding beneath a veil of concrete, lies the warmth of a thousand burning suns, that have begun to wither and grow cold, nothing endures the sun ceasing to burn, now we put our trust, in a broken system, a system that's built on the blind, leading the blind.
More questions than answers, more questions than answers, more questions than answers.
Is this all it takes to leave us obsolete? Were we ever meant to avoid this defeat?
Every single word, is a chance to dream, but dream we must not, we may start to believe, that we ever had a chance, that we ever had a chance, that we ever had a chance, to feel the warmth of the sun again. That look of worry on your face, a perfect picture, of our disgrace.
Hiding beneath a veil of concrete, lies the warmth of a thousand burning suns, that have begun to wither and grow cold, nothing endures the sun ceasing to burn, now we put our trust, in a broken system, a system that's built on the blind, leading the blind.
More questions than answers, more questions than answers, more questions than answers.
Is this all it takes to leave us obsolete? Were we ever meant to avoid this defeat?
