Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why my eyes won't lie
They show the stains of cancelled cries
Their empty vessels scan the sky
To see how this might end again, but
Where your lips can't miss the salt scarred contours of this kiss
A fading flame, a tired tryst, that old fair weather friend
[Chorus]
Sight, sound, word, and deed
They lead us to believe in
Love but we can never know the depths we'll fall from love's first glow
How her cheek turns cold from
Borrowed lust, like hoarded gold, while
Naked envy sears his soul and yet they still pretend
[Verse 2]
Which brow furrows now
As doubts arise and take their bow
Your sacred swear, my vengeful vow
That breaks before it bends, so
[Chorus]
Whose nose slowly grows
From untold truths and stageless shows
My missing root
Your rotting rose
A message to unsend
[Chorus]
Touch, taste, scents to please
They fill the fragrant air we breathe with love
But soon we shall erase
The tender blush of love's last trace
When our ears won't fear
The haunted echo of those years
As time retires all our tears
We knew how this would end
