My Bitter Half

I traced your shape
And counted the days
And you just erased me
I hit the ground
And i make no sound
As your heels pierced me
I scarred my face
To conquer my pride
And you cocooned in your misery
I plucked you up from a bed of nails
And hung me for your salvation

Can i come down?
There's been a mistake
Can i come down?
Isn't this what you asked of me?
You lost faith. blinding white

And just before my chest caved in
I climbed back down
I caught your scent but the wolves beat me to you
Stopped
Behind the place where we met
Found strands of your dress they were all that was left
I dug you up the night you died
And this is what you asked me
"when will the sun overthrow the eclipse. i'm just waiting for this night to end
Leave me here, just go."

As the dusk set in
As the sickness spread
I took one glance behind
And you had disappeared

Slipping
Right through my fingers
Gripping
As tight as i can
Slipping
Right through my hands

We can't look back
They've got the searchlights on us
Stay close you'll be alright
With shadows as my guide
I'm looking for the answer
I will be the one who breaks the constant midnight

Tossed to the swine
I make the climb from the abyss
Lost
Into the night to the abyss

I trace your shape to memory
I traced your shape
Eraser
