Lyrics
Warming her hands
Shoes were worn
As she looks for a way
To ease her mourn
Caught red handed
But denies it all
She seemed strong
Now delusional
Ignoring all words
She's sitting there
Beneath a shelter
dirt in her hair
In her alley
Shivering
I thought I could help
But couldn't do anything
Escape the tragedy
And see reality
Get it out your skin
It hides within
Cut of the abscess
Or drown in your emptiness
Seeing no chance
To begin again
She sedates herself
Until seeing them
Playing around
Holding her tight
The only way to
Let it see light
Escape the tragedy
And see reality
Get it out your skin
It hides within
Cut of the abscess
Or drown in your emptiness
she was taken away
Her heart still bound
Believed he'd save her
But he gave no sound
Her glass was empty
And the way clear
But she can't see the hand
and stays out here
Escape the tragedy
And see reality
Get it out your skin
It hides within
Cut of the abscess
Or drown in your emptiness
You drank all our love
Till you could drink no more
Come ask your lord above
What you're doing it all for
To forget all you've done
Is to forget him can't you see
Now you've lost everyone
Including me
She spoke to me
With head in hand
Telling what she's done
But she does not understand
She twists and turns
Until she's stuck
I grip her and pull
Without any luck
