lyrics

Lost in a fever
I found your face cast in amber
It all felt the same
The leaves, the sun’s burn
Screaming your name
The language goes unlearned

Waging war evermore
Yeah, I know that’s how it goes
Time is the enemy
Each step, a memory

Cauterized and renewed
I was carried away by the tides of truth
My hands in your mouth
The pull and the release
Alone in this house
Where every wall looks away

Waging war evermore
Yeah, I know that’s how it goes
Time is the enemy
Each step, a memory

You crossed the line once
You crossed too many
You crossed the line once
You crossed it too many times

I can sense the distance between us now
Your eyes, they could start a hundred wars tonight
Dismantle my useless body piece by piece
These limbs have only touched
The darker side of progress

There’s nothing here anymore
I wander the empty aisles at night
Tormented by your ghost

You crossed the line once
You crossed too many
You crossed the line once
You crossed it too many times

How wary we’ve grown with age
My arms turned to branches
In the time it took to chase
Those visions from my mind
Like catching smoke in hand
You’re a door I’ll never get in
And I’ll remember you as that
The echo that never returned
While I stood at the water waiting
