1.
My old friend / like a caterwaul showed me all her scars lined a-long her back and arms mocking smile / like a silent bell like a lover's melting torpor to her sighs To her comely likeness I could tie My old friend held to time I could live unlasting in the walls my own blood turned to lime I could swing till day but I couldn't find the way my old friend is the ceiling beam (beams to tie the) in the fleeting dreams to lose the will to hold your hand every stone is a castle wall (walls to hold the) is a trembling ghost to stare me down and hold you in till her love's at last dead she won't fall i grab my own arms and brace for all till her love's at last dead on yellow rope i grab my own neck and curse the hope till her love's at last dead she'll stand tall i grab my own wind to fail and fall she still bares the grin she fucking knows she'll win
2.
Every love is dead bled into my stone the orphan and the prisoner in my palm I am just a cell the hell where two were drawn trading tales of failure to the dawn All his hopes are gone to the night No more will to fight She would turn her head from the light While his eyes would watch the silence and mice Everything you chase and try so hard to save only digs you deeper in your grave The orphan needs a cage a cross to cast its shade the prisoner's dig to freedom dulls his blade I loiter for the godless I alone could hold this you pray my walls are falling apart but I alone could stow the demons of this home

about

Every love and death
leads to yourself
returning to my walls and haunted breath
Every dream pursued
and begged to never lose
only ads a knot to waiting noose
