The Middle Goes Down

(album: What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse - 2001)

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
