ESSENCE LYRICS

1. The Scent Of Her Secrets

It's no secret now, everyone knows.
It's my shoulder the night uses to cry,
My bedroom with six hundred windows,
My feet where the truth comes to die.

Where the moon can't stop weeping,
While the tide washes the prints in the sand,
Your eyes that seek out new meaning,
Your scared, broken soul in my hands.

This pulse that's been chained to you.
Dandelions amidst lilies of snow,
Someday I will see through your disguise,
Someday pick my name from your lies.

Till then, I'll hide my soul in your book,
And I'll yield to the flood of your innocence,
With my cheap pleads and my sanity.

And you may carry me down to the darkness,
Wipe my slate with a flick of your wrist.
Take this verse, this accursed harness
It's yours now; it's all that there is.

It's no secret now, everyone knows
It's my shoulder the night uses to die,
My bedroom with six hundred windows,
My feet where truth and hope die.

2. Shadows Chased By Light

As a drop of rain dries on my lips
And the wind rustles through my hair
The moment has come to say farewell and the seconds tick away
As shadows chased by light

The sound of your voice has vanished
And the memories make my blood calcify
And they scar my own image
Last words you said made me feel so fucking helpless
And the last breath you took made me feel all alone
All alone

I try to walk away
Away from it all
But my own footsteps are hunting me
Night falls along with me

Last words you said made me feel so fucking helpless
And the last breath you took made me feel all alone
All alone

As a drop of rain dries on my lips
And the wind rustles through my hair
The moment has come to say farewell and the seconds tick away
As shadows chased by light
Shadows
Chased
By light

They scar myself
They scar my own image
Make my skin crawl and whisper

Last words he said made me feel so fucking helpless
And last breath he took made me feel all alone
So fucking alone
Fucking alone
The last words he said made you feel so fucking helpless

3. Fragments

I'm sure you don't see me staring into your pale face
I'm sure

I'm sure you do not see me staring into your pale face
Counting the lines around your mouth
A method precise
As I paint your lonely blank sigh onto my minds blank canvas
I make my careful unpenned notes reflect
The red rims around bloodshed irises

Your blotchet skin and cracked down lips
As I paint your lonely blank sigh onto my minds blank canvas
And I'm sure that my image and my fragments reflect in your eyes
And now I will

Now shatter these fragments

They tell me my own sad stories
At night
They tell me my own stories

And I'm still sure you don't see me staring into your pale face
I'm sure

I'm sure you do not see me staring into your pale face
Counting the lines around your mouth
A method precise

Fragments!
Now shatter these fragments
Shatter!

4. Etchings Of Lost Hours

I must have been
Written in pencil
Somewhere on your surface
The depths of you
Reserved for someone else

I lift and flake
And then I’m gone
With one quick breath
Soft and bruised
I linger
Soft and bruised

And you are there
For all the world to see
My shell translucent
And you are there
For all the world to see
And you are there for all the world

The depths of you are now carved
Carving in my bones
The depths of you are now carved in my bones
On my surface.
And you are there
For all the world to see
Carving in my bones
The depths of you are lost
