Verse 1
Fading through a slow descent,
Watching every shadow fray.
Every moment borrowed, spent,
As the colors slip away.
I feel the pull of falling down,
Reaching for the edge of sleep.
Far beyond the borders of town,
In quiet waters, cold and deep.
Pre-Chorus
It feels so light to watch it fade,
To cut the anchors from the shore.
I step away from barricades,
To wander where we bleed no more.
Chorus
I told you so, I told you so,
Bury every lingering spark.
I'm sinking back into the abyss
My comfortable, familiar dark.
Post-Chorus
The apathy that keeps me safe,
The empty room I call my home.
I kill the hope, I close the gate,
And finally I am left alone.
Verse 2
For just a second, played the part,
Drifting freely in design.
The edge was silver, cool, and sharp,
Your silhouette was so divine.
You held the weapon with a grace,
I wore the crimson like a skin.
A beautiful beast with an angel's face,
I let the poison enter in.
Pre-Chorus
It felt so right to lose control,
To close my eyes and join the ride.
I gave you access to my soul,
And smiled while you pushed it aside.
Chorus
I told you so, I told you so,
Bury every lingering spark.
I'm sinking back into the abyss
My comfortable, familiar dark.
Post-Chorus
The apathy that keeps me safe,
The empty room I call my home.
I kill the hope, I close the gate,
And finally I am left alone.
