lyrics

Before too long we will forget all this
Before too long you will forget everything

Aching, I kissed your knuckles
As you held my hand
Hard and hopeful

Striving, I pressed your hand to the stained
Wooden door
And you said, you felt it beating
Another brief moment in a day dream

16 steps to the top of the stairway
I look down below to find the water rising
Like the edges of a winter breeze
The foundation wanes and shudders
Ignorant truth keeps the tide at bay

We will never get to stay here
Daydreams of hinted futures
She wrote to me:

"At the end of every hour, everything is taken away.
Lapse in memory or lapse in judgement, you’re at a loss.
Touch comes in but ash comes out.
Give as you get if you want to move along.
I know how hard you pushed me.
I know how hard we pressed on.

Keep the backdoor cracked when you get home.
I want to watch you living.
I want to keep living on the outside."

Lack luster pleas keep me grounded
My fabled sins, my heart beats away
Your visions of me are clouded in perfection
You won’t see past the night
The doorway is just your height

The bedroom walls peeled away
The secrets of the hollow spaces
Take time away from delusion
I tried to make you see

Words are repeated
Your cold feet sting when we lay intertwined
The ceiling forces my eyes open
As it crumbles

The water reaches my heartrending mouth
Drowning my words of fear
The flood drains as my thoughts are made clear
Made clear forever in lies
Wash away my sins

I held your ear to the door frame
And you said you heard it speaking
Another brief moment in a day dream
