lyrics

Fill my throat with the remedy and in time remove the pain. I’m staring straight at the enemy that bares his tired grin. He breaks the gates to the cemetery and tries to pull me in again. He chases me until eventually my breath runs out. This game will play until infinity I’ll die before losing count. Before I test every boundary, before the illness has been found. I’ve crept and leapt in his control- Its tightropes and roof tops until I fall. I’ve been warned and I’ve been told not to get too far involved but every time I feel inclined to latch on to the things I find. I take each mess to excess to make up for all the nights I’ll miss. It never ends but can explode. He’ll wait by my headstone rubbing his hands while I hide.
