Never Was Lyrics

The shadow on the ceiling reflects

The grey between you and me

Your scent on my skin deflects

The irony it’s meant to be

My reasoning starts to struggle

As I let you creep into my mind

The silver lining starts to crumble

Around the edges of borrowed time

Walk through the red burning flames

Stare blankly at these walls

Fall in the trap of your game

Mourn for something that never was

Plunge to the depth of the dark

Catch my breath between the falls

Sink in my own drowned heart

Mourn for something that never was

The hands we play mustn't compromise

The forbidden part of the heart

For vanity we rationalise

The contradictions we impart

The heart weakens when we exhume

What's left of the forgotten

For normality we must resume

The pretences of the unspoken

You can't break a heart you don't possess

Even though you may feel compelled

You can sit on the sidelines no less

And watch me scorch mine as I bid farewell
