You are quickly becoming
the very vision of that fucking ghost
Dive right in, the story begins again:
Oh, Hamartia, I always knew the end,
but your tears are such sweet
sorrowful wine
I'll toast to our demise.
Oh, the serenity implicitly promised me.
Briefly I'll bury my instincts for sanity's sake.
Do you know the feel of a glacier break?
My frostbitten heart is aching,
and your lifeless lips don't have the answer I seek.
Oh, Hamartia, how could I be so weak?
While I was drowning in my sea of rage,
you parted the water and stood between the waves.
I am an avatar of obsession,
and tonight you are pale in my eyes.
If you could see my trembling knees.
Oh, the serenity implicitly promised me.
You're my sleeping beauty,
and this is our last kiss goodbye.
Don't wake up, you might miss the ending.
Don't wake up, you might miss the ending.
Briefly I'll bury my instincts for sanity's sake.
Do you know the sound of a glacier break?
Do you feel these last breaths I take?
I'd whisper your name, if my lungs would permit it.
I was drowning in a sea of rage.
You found me that way.
I should have died that day.
Instead, you parted the waves.
You eased the ache, and then you ran away.
I should have died that day.
You eased the ache, and then you ran away.
You held my frostbitten heart in your hand
and watched the glacier break.
