lyrics

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
