lyrics

The clouds rush in as the cold touches you
The emotion in your head is one that goes straight to your hand
You can cover yourself, but you can't hide

Let's come in time and fuss over this in another
You can destroy, but promise to rebuild
Please don't talk to them
Just stare straight ahead and look away from the hole in the wall with the eye that blinks

I can sit here while you dance in the rain

The sky darkens as the cold touches you
The leather that you wear can only protect you so much
Can you stop asking me to do menial tasks
Do them for once by yourself with no assistance
I won't ask again, all that I ask is that you do them for yourself for once

Let's serenade as night falls...

The clouds rush in as the cold touches you
The emotion in your head is one that goes straight to your hand
You can cover yourself, but you can't hide
No, you can't hide

Tyler King recommends:

Memorial
by abrasions

An album in two parts; a coherent, optimistic first half, and a darker, depressing second half. This is the album that dreams and nightmares are made of, a plunge into the abyss with no way out. Tyler King
