Clyde Lyrics

Harbor your criminal in darkness

Hissing a curse under your breath

You cannot hide him here forever

You cannot shelter him in death

You cannot claim a restoration

Against the tolling of the bells

You cannot stop him now or save him

You cannot even save yourself

A crimson stain upon her suitor

A rotting corpse under our feet

We watched the lingering scent of longing

Bodily thrown into the sea

Are you the victim or the victor

You, the adored or the despised

And can you cover up your bruises

Or open up your wounds with pride

We all expected more of you

Even as you held a gun to

Everyone else in the room

With every word that he would whisper

Shoving your face into the ground

You weren't watching what's behind you

While he was drowning out the sound

He'll leave you shaking in the floodlights

Holding the weapon in your hand

And nobody else will be your witness

And nobody else will have your back

We all expected more of you

Even as you held a gun to

Everyone else in the room

We all expected more of this

Even as you held a gun to your head

Even as you said don't go

I made a promise I won't

I made a promise I won't

I made a promise I won't
