Here you stand seething with guilt
Silence only justifies this act of cowardice
The look stapled on your face cries out for forgiveness
The one thing that I cannot give

Did you ever see that one person
And the way they do these things
And it hurts you so much it's like choking, choking, CHOKING!

I can give you freedom from your guilt
With a flick of my wrist onto yours
I can give you peace of mind with a forced smile
I can give you death with the look upon my face

This is your freedom, in a life of fallacy
With no last kiss and no regrets
You don't deserve good bye
This is your freedom, in a life of fallacy
With no last kiss and no good bye

Here you stand seething with guilt
Silence only justifies this act of cowardice

With a short story
The one you add to daily
You are the tragic loss
No story book ending for the fairy tale of you
Just the one composed with blood
Taken from your pen that you hold in your lifeless hand
Cry for you. Shed tears, mourn. Wish the end
Cry for you. Shed tears, mourn. Wish the end
Mourn, wish, the end
Mourn, wish, the end
Mourn, wish, the end

Did you ever look
Did you ever see that one person?
And the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
And to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds
You let this one person come down at the most perfect moment

And it breaks my heart, to know
The only reason you are here now
Is a reminder of what I'll never have
I'll never have
I'll never

Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in
But this table for one has become bearable
I now take comfort in this, in this, I cherish you

Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person?
And the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
And to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds
And you let this one person come down
Come down

I cherish you
I cherish you
Just say that you would do the same for me
Just say you would do the same
Just say you would do the same for me
For as much as I love Autumn
I'm giving myself to Ashes
