lyrics

I remember last September was your third farewell
That rotting smell
Left your notebook by the coathook in the cheap motel
Auto-da-fe misspelled
I'm no soothsayer but you say her excuses don't gel
The warning bell
Sounds its caution now more often as the alibis swell
Growing dark, oh well

I'm breaking open at the bone
I'm straying far from what I know
Your haunting memory fades away
At least I pray for this now
Drowning below

Shaded shallows left unhallowed by a faltering sun
My world undone
Endless rest and empty tests I guess I failed just one
Abrogation
Of your face's holy places, visions, traces, begun
The water runs
Smothering heartaches, tearing parts of me away one by one
Nothing left, it's done

I'm breaking open at the bone
I'm straying far from what I know
Your haunting memory fades away
At least I pray for this now
Drowning below

Go, take away, everything, it's okay
If I grow, up to be, misery, empty just like
You, bird of prey, broken wing, red Sunday,
Let it grow, over me, sight unseen, frozen fever
Dream, getaway, stolen ring, shades of grey,
Fading glow, history, still can't see, doused in gaso-
Lean, over me, worshipping, endless sea,
Undertow, drowning me, you'd agree, with my silent
Scream, go away, poison sting, dead bouquet, never know
Leave me be, lost at sea, just can't let you

Go, take away, everything, it's okay
If I grow, up to be, misery, empty just like
You, bird of prey, broken wing, red Sunday,
Let it grow, over me, sight unseen, frozen fever
