An image of the sea
In blood that spills like oil
Your claiming your place as we all fall down
As we all fall down
A message to The King
Your roof is caving in
We don't care he whispers
We're not there
Oh, Anathema
Don't you know that you talk in your sleep
And I know everything
Oh, Anathema
Maybe next time you won't make promises you know that you can't fake
A thousand open hands
One thousand empty hands
Asking for forgiveness
Or an answer to pass the time
To pass the time
To pass the time
A message to The Heavens
The Clouds have opened up
We don't care they whisper
We don't hear
Oh, Anathema
Don't you know that you talk in your sleep
And I know everything
Oh, Anathema
Maybe next time you won't make promises you know that you can't fake
Oh, Anathema
Don't you know that you talk in your sleep
And I know everything
Oh, Anathema
Maybe next time you won't make promises you know that you can't fake

I can't wait for the coma
You can't get over the flood
This is the way that the world ends
When nothing I do is enough
Lately it seems like even the vampires don't care for the taste of my blood
Well it's not as sweet as it was when I was in love
I bet all that silver makes it bitter
You've got a funny way of showing that you care
And you love to play the part of partially aware
The pieces fit
The problem is that you're never there
It's growing dark and silent
Alone at the edge of the sea
And I know it might be selfish
Yet I can't help but to think
If I were to die first
Everybody I love would live forever
And even if that's just you I think that it's worth the risk
So screams this traitor in my chest
I don't want to wake up
You've got a funny way of showing that you care
And you love to play the part of partially aware
The pieces fit
The problem is that you're never there
And I'm sick to death
Of every breath that I wasted
And I'm sick to death
Of writing your name on my wrist
And I'm sick to death
Of every breath that I wasted
On me and you
On me and you
On me and you
You said this would never be over

It's been far too long since I've had a reason to believe in anything
And I'm sick of knowing where I stand
It's not a phase that I can ignore
You used to say
You've got a funny way of showing that you care
It's not a pose
You push past 33
While I aim to the left of the crows
The left of the crows
Take your skin
It's right there by the door
Leave your markings in blood on the frame
When you go away
Take these memories with you
See all I wanted was this
Until I realized that everything would still be shit
And all my failures are lined up in a row
For everyone to see as if everybody didn't know
You bruise the frame that God ignored
You fed on the shame just to beg for more
It's all about desperation
And waiting for the best part
You use the name that God abhors
You talk a good game
But behind closed doors
It's all about degradation, love
And waiting for the best part
See all I wanted was this
Until I realized that everything would still be shit
And all my failures are lined up in a row
For everyone to see as if everybody didn't know
See all I wanted was this
Until I realized that everything would still be shit
You bruise the frame that God ignored
You fed on the shame just to beg for more
It's all about desperation
And waiting for the best part
You use the name that God abhors
You talk a good game
But behind closed doors
It's all about degradation, love
And waiting for the best part
Waiting for the pain to start
And waiting for the best part
Waiting for the pain to start
And waiting for the best part
Waiting for the pain to start
All I wanted was this until I realized everything would still be shit
All I wanted was this
All I wanted was this
All I wanted
All I wanted was this until I realized everything would still be shit

I wish that I could die
Like winter wishes it could lie
I wish that I could just tear and break away
These thoughts are a prison
I lie here while they listen
But nobody knows all our secrets like 4 AM
Silly me
Imagining
This memory is on repeat
And it has your eyes
And then it strikes a pose
While it's dressed in a dead man's clothes
It's odd but I'll take it
If that's what it takes to get you to stay
You're asking
And I'm lying
Now you're choking
And I'm trying
But this canvas above us has never looked so much like nothing at all
I wake up
Or do I
Alone again, just like always
Sometimes I think that it might have been better
Might have been better
It might have been better
And then you strike a pose
Looking so elegant in a dead man's clothes
And slow as honey but twice as sweet
You turn and say these words to me
I would give it all just to be enough
But sometimes I think that it might have been better
If I had never come up for air
Then you disappear
You were never here
But you're right
Oh God, you're right
It might have been better
Might have been better
It might

Just looking for a connection
I no longer believe exists
Sometimes it gets so quiet
I forget that no one's there
You know that sound outside of silence
Like static in the air
Something's wrong
And you don't care, you don't
Something's gone
And I don't see it because I won't
I'll choose emptiness over this feeling inside of my head
Otherwise it's all been true
And I would rather be dead than admit it
Will my soul survive
Will it split, will it divide in two
If I belong in both of these places
Then I belong nowhere at all
Will it crystalize
Or flicker like a candle in a room with no one in it
Oblivion is calling
Just covering all of my bases
Before I cross the River Styx
It's why I've always kept these coins in my pocket
See, I believe in the mythology
Even if I don't believe in me
Something's wrong
And you don't care, you don't
Something's gone
And I don't see it because I won't
I'll choose emptiness over this feeling inside of my head
Otherwise it's all been true
And I would rather be dead than admit it
Will my soul survive
Will it split, will it divide in two
If I belong in both of these places
Then I belong nowhere at all
Will it crystalize
Or flicker like a candle in a room with no one in it
Oblivion is calling
And it feels like home
Was it all just a dream
Staring down at this midnight scene
All alone in outer space

It dawned on me during the walk back home
That I'd pretended this night wasn't like the others
Who wants to wake up when there's no one to hold
I can't stand if I'm to be alone
I can't stand at all
Can't stand at all
Can't stand at all
Makeshift grey over phone lines fade
And it occurred to me when you drove my drunk ass home
That I'd pretended this night was like every other
I can believe this lie as long as I'm not sober
I'll fake my way along
Ever the book without a cover
And I'm only sober when I'm broke
And I'm only broke when I'm awake
God, I hate being awake
Because when I'm dreaming
I'm October
The season offers simple sulphur, iron taste
And when I wake up I'll turn over
And kiss the shape you left in my pillow good bye
I'll kiss the shape you left in my pillow good bye
Good bye, good bye
Good bye, good bye, good bye
Good bye
