SINGER: The Black Dahlia Murder

SONG:The Middle Goes Down

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
