The Decay Lyrics

The Decay lyrics

Tonight I let loose the dove



In futile hopes of its return



Watch bleeding feathers and flags unfurl



Free with the breeze that burns me



I know that I pushed you to fall apart



These eyes are blackened now to what is real



Someday I'll touch you with my heart



This prosthetic heart has broken itself



Torn in string and letting loose all it had



This shell can only contain its screams for so long



Blackened brow, blood as oil to burn



Boiling over to fuel this loss



These eyes are black and blue and imprinted with you face



An image I will never forget



Today I will staple myself back together



With black hair stitches I will be whole again



And on that day the madman will raise his eyes



Staring at me with a tear and a laugh



The oldest of phrases falls from his parted lips...



"I told you so..."
