in the dark - the harbinger

 


I pray you leave me something I can go on for
Because even when you're here, your spirit is far gone
The pools in your eyes are fighting mine and begging me to let you go
Drowning my patience and my hope with you

I carve my name on your side of the bed 
Hoping you remember who I am 
Before the sun sets once again
I write my name on your chest 
Hoping you remember where I am 
Close enough to the end of all the ends

Why'd you whisper in the dark, slow and steady 
Till my heart, gives out and goes fleeing 
I search the skies for the star meant to guide me 
In the dark that's in your chest leave you heaving 

I stand on the other side with my ear to the door 
Run over by jealousy and by the only heartthrob 
You make me feel lucky and overly grateful 
Its like poison and my tolerance is the medicine

I carve my name on your side of the bed 
Hoping you remember who I am 
Before the sun sets once again
I write my name on your chest 
Hoping you remember where I am 
Close enough to the end of all the ends

Why'd you whisper in the dark, slow and steady 
Till my heart, gives out and goes fleeing 
I search the skies for the star meant to guide me 
In the dark that's in your chest leave you heaving 

The farther I run the closer I get to nowhere, pins and needles in my spine
Patience is a joke when you're running on empty sands of time
Artifacts of my soul, I leave in the footnotes of the evidence of all your crimes
You spin a tale for the good folk, so painful your heart broke and mended mine

Why'd you whisper in the dark, slow and steady 
Till my heart, gives out and goes fleeing 
I search the skies for the star meant to guide me 
In the dark that's in your chest leave you heaving.
