With Broken Wings

(album: Ashes Lie Still - 2022)

Liquid thoughts watch then drip into place
Pick up the cross again tomorrow
No I won't allow it
A selfish soul full of sorrow
Broken on borrowed
Time and time again I think I'm hollowing out

Run this knife from ear to ear, then you'll smile forever
No, I can't do it
No, I'll never do it
Take your medicine my dear, now you're mine forever
Forever
No pain, no hunger, no anything, just nothingness

Could this be the opening?
Could this be the answer that I seek?

Just take a look at me now
I can't describe my face
With broken wings looking down
What a fall from grace

Drag this blade from twelve to six, and we'll sleep forever
No, I can't do it
No, I'll never do it
Pull the trigger now my dear, then you're mine forever
Forever
No pain, no hunger, no anything, just nothingness

Could this be the opening?
Could this be the answer that I seek?

Just take a look at me now
I can't describe my face
With broken wings looking down
What a fall from grace

This is what you want
To feel your blood run cold
Just close your eyes and let it go
And let your death unfold

No
No

What you want
What you need
What I want
What I need
What you want
What is harder to bear?
What you need
With friends like these
What I want
Stuck inside my nightmare
What I need
Who needs enemies?

This is what I want
To feel your blood run cold
To soar away on wings of black
And let your death unfold

Just take a look at me now
I can't describe my face
With broken wings looking down
What a fall from grace
Just take a look at me now
I can't describe my face
With broken wings looking down
What a fall from grace
