The Black Dahlia Murder - The Middle Goes Down lyrics

Cold winter cuts - a heart that couldn't heal

destroyed by it's own stupidity

a frozen smile - cracks backing frigid lies

I shelter beneath a veil of happiness - a delicate facade

and snow falls as to bury what we had

everything we left behind

although your loving eyes - have left my gaze forever

they've been captured in my sleep - although this vacant heart

can't go on any longer - I feel your soft breath in my dreams

but it shall not be - I cannot shake these feelings

I can't renounce - this love for you is all I know

I am controlled by sorrow - my hope forever lost

bested by my weakness - will the spring's warmth never come?

And the snow

still heaping on this broken back

I am lost within its persistence

you took the meaning

from this withered soul

I have no strength without your touch

and so it was - and can never be again

and so it was - and will never ever be again.

Lost - this love for you is all I know.

Weakness - will the spring's warmth never come?

A little child crying - from the bunk below

I still love you - I can't cut that tie from my life

love born in regret? Was our blight carved into stone?

The stone that lines my heart - I wish I never loved you

cold sweat and eaten nails - I did this all for you.

A broken heart - a clenched fist full of hair - I did this all for you

and any other embrace - will just turn into shit

in the shadow of our former love

I'd trade a bloody wrist - to live forever in those nights

but the deed hath still been done
