Dead Ties

I feel your eyes on me (every sharp glance)
Everything that you say
I feel you eat at me
All these thoughts trying, here to devour

I feel this all too much, I feel you eat at me

With every step of her own, and every blow from the clock's hands
The devil wears at her bones and everything she calls her own.

And I know
All the things that I know you never meant to say
Keep me home 'cause I know you'll never be content
Until this all is over

I find these pleas unheard and all that’s me
Looking for your ghost

This disconnect has burned into apathy
Render me self-sustaining

I'm hoping for your ghosts, haunting

And I know
All the things that I know you never meant to say
Keep me home 'cause I know you'll never be content
Until you fall, until this all blows over
Until you fall, until this all is over.

I feel your eyes on me (every sharp glance)

I feel alive when I live in my mind
We can live like fools together
I feel alive, surround me with your lies
We will live like fools together

When will I open up?
Is this meant to be?
I cannot live like this, how it's supposed to be
Left aside, broken
