Intersecting Storylines To The Same Tragedy

(album: The Romance Of Affliction - 2021)

Oh Icarus (Don't fly away)
Your solace burned too bright (it's your ascension, that's a tragedy)
(So take a breath and clip your wings)
Bury yourself (Will you be safe?)
I've seen the pain in our eyes (Do you mean it?)
Don't face yourself, it's the cost of letting go

It's time to turn away
You're burning down with everything you love

I've seen the scars that we both entrusted
Don't cover them
You know we both took them as reminders

I've held the thread that they sewed into my flesh
It's not that you didn't try hard enough
It's just falling apart

I've lost the hope that they grafted to my head
Tear my flesh to say goodbye to tragic threads
That they have draped over you

I'm just not sold on oh so graceful end
Are you with me? Weighed down by the story
I'm lost as witness to the tale
Cause it never made sense to me
Will they talk about it
When it's all over now?

A bitter taste
Don't waste away, just breath...

What do we have to say?
Burn out just like a moth to a flame
Just to say that we had a chance

Did you forget about consequence?
Turn your back to the problem and pretend that you wanted this

Take what you say (Take what you say)
And free fall away (So make your choice)
Take what you say (Take what you say)
And throw it in my face (It's your fire)

Eaten alive
Torn from the inside
Held by the thread
We're still falling out
Of
Sync
With
Fate
