Crestfallen versuri

Crestfallen lyrics by Burial Etiquette

Even then as you do now
You tempt the waves to your beckon call
Seeing her a lonely idol lost upon a shore
An artist weaves the play along the brush strokes
And the cacophony in your ears
Comes from these images you’ve conjured
To determine black and white from grey
With shaky hands and weary eyes
He approaches the height of the stairs
As he broke the horizon his gaze fell upon his dying dream
Drenched in failure he cannot avert his eyes
The eyes of a broken dream
The eyes of a fallen friend
Now all our eyes are drenched with sweat and tears

Born from a corpse of my former
Wrapped in sheets of silk
Saturated red & purple
As i carry it on my back
To a time you were safe
A familiar tone keeps you warm
Sacrifice flesh for a feed
Unruly teeth gnawing at me

No reason will heal it
Won’t turn my heart to gold
I hesitated to give it back
I don the armor with a thousand cracks
The changes I know I had to make
Yet something kept me from
And I can’t break these chains I have made

I’ve fought for the last time
I’m giving up on you
And all these threads
Anchored in my skin
Let the stage burn to the ground
Spotlight beams unveil ashes
Porcelain flesh cracking beneath shaking hands
Eyes no longer gifted the pleasure of soaking you in
Perhaps I can pretend you never left
Oh what a wonder to be your lover
Leaked out visuals of hope
You kept me warm under a tattered roof
Raindrops sang of your broken dreams
Tears remain on rosy cheeks
Wiping away the ones that wouldn’t go

From the ruin at the bottom
To the top of the stairs
I gave it all
You gave it all
Then the summer & the autumn
Led to winter despair
I held you close
You kept me warm

All the heart we left behind
So easily buried in time
She dreamt of gentle swollen wings
To soar amongst the stars in black
She held the weight of all the world
It broke her back and left her there
All the heart we left behind
So easily buried in time

Forfeit all that was at cost
Peel back your skin to reveal
Nothing is worth the fight
A reminder of our potential
To reform & heal
From misunderstandings
& heartache projected
For all to see
