lyrics
It's in the resin and it's my darkest hour
A pile of footsteps on a road I chose for me
I've sacrificed your love to gain fake fondness
I've sacrificed the world for honey and some bees
It's reassuring that our love was so pure
But I was getting used to keep you from my dreams
These walls I'm holding now their doomed to stumble
This is the temple of my un-purity
In one last heroic deed, I've saved you this song
A firm reminder of the goodbye I foreseed
I've laid in bed with you and thought you saw through
This is the story of how the shallow bested me
I'm not the one who'll ride, the one who'll come through
I'm just an owl disguised in secret melodies
No more entreating you to bear the grey truth
The water rises and the bridge is cracking in
Dispatching words about the honey and the bees
We fell on our backs and we've burned 500 days in the flame, so we jumped in the well, we've drowned, we loved like demons instead
A pile of footsteps on a road I chose for me
I've sacrificed your love to gain fake fondness
I've sacrificed the world for honey and some bees
It's reassuring that our love was so pure
But I was getting used to keep you from my dreams
These walls I'm holding now their doomed to stumble
This is the temple of my un-purity
In one last heroic deed, I've saved you this song
A firm reminder of the goodbye I foreseed
I've laid in bed with you and thought you saw through
This is the story of how the shallow bested me
I'm not the one who'll ride, the one who'll come through
I'm just an owl disguised in secret melodies
No more entreating you to bear the grey truth
The water rises and the bridge is cracking in
Dispatching words about the honey and the bees
We fell on our backs and we've burned 500 days in the flame, so we jumped in the well, we've drowned, we loved like demons instead
