Fluorescent White

(album: No Eternity In Gold - 2020)

Fluorescent white, don't make me say goodbye
When hope is hung, siphon the air from my lungs
Romanticize the thought of feeling alive
Hallucinating of a place where I can close my eyes

So when you go, I will follow you forever
Into the black, intertwined, endlessly tethered
So when you fade, when flesh and bone decay
Bury me, I never needed grace
Would you bury me so I can take your place?

Nothing left to say
Haunted by the ghost of me
Suffer just to relive the memory
Leaving only the ghost of me

Fluorescent white, don't take away what's mine
When hope is hung, black out the fucking sun
Romanticize the thought of feeling alone
A quiet place where I can learn to let go

Complacency choking the memories
Eternal sleep just to find relief
Bury me, I never needed grace
Would you bury me so I can take your place?

Devour me
The fucking feeling of death always lingering
Devour me
The fucking feeling of death lingering

Nothing left to say
Haunted by the ghost of me
Suffer just to relive the memory
Leaving only the ghost of me

I'm bleeding out, I'm digging my way through
Replace my life with something new
No hope to be redeemed
Leaving only the ghost of me

So when you go, I will follow you forever
Follow you forever
So when you fade, when flesh and bone decay
Bury me, I never needed grace
Would you bury me so I can take your place?

Nothing left to say
Haunted by the ghost of me
Suffer just to relive the memory
Leaving only the ghost of me

I'm bleeding out, I'm digging my way through
Replace my life with something new
No hope to be redeemed
Leaving only the ghost of me
