You are not my friend, yet you dance upon my lips I tried to back away but I could never shake your grip Dance with me my enemy send shivers down my spine Our hearts are black we cant turn back what's yours is now whats mine Broken now we're broken now did we just end it all the warmth inside my body's gone and so I wrote this song Godspeed to you my enemy before the music's gone You are not my friend yet we danced this night Fall into your arms so we can make this same mistake You are not my friend, yet you dance upon my lips I tried to back away but I girl I couldn't shake your grip Dance with me my enemy send shivers down my spine Our hearts are black we cant turn back what's yours is now whats mine Broken now we're broken now did we just end it all the warmth inside my body's gone and so I wrote this song Godspeed to you my enemy before the music's gone Godspeed to you so hurry now before the music's gone

I'm wasted like words unsaid Deteriorating in my head These broken thoughts run laps for miles on end Break me down take me home Sweet child take my hand We'll watch them pass these things you can't understand You're with me now You're welcome home Mother, hold me in your arms It's getting colder in this storm Embrace me now, embrace me now I need you now to keep me warm I've lost myself, I've gone blind Your cold embrace was wasted time Now I'll never see what's in front of me I've lost my face I've lost my mind I'm wasted like words unsaid Deteriorating in my head These broken thoughts run laps for miles on end Break me down take me home

Before I could walk I learned to fly I aimed for the sun but I hit the sky I swim among the stars Watching from afar I'm drowning in my scars I'm gone now I've been gone for so long Won't be coming home This world was so unknown I'm drowning in the stars I'm gone now I'm gone now Wait, wait, wait Don't wait for me I know who I am now, I understand I fell from grace, then I fell again I swim among the stars Watching from afar I'm drowning in my scars I'm gone now I've been gone for so long Won't be coming home This world was so unknown I'm drowning in the stars I'm gone now I'm gone now Fought for as long as I could You struck me down but there I stood I rise again and then I'm gone Fought for as long as I could You struck me down but there I stood I rise again and then I'm gone I swim among the stars Watching from afar I'm drowning in my scars I'm gone now I've been gone for so long Won't be coming home This world was so unknown I'm drowning in the stars I'm gone now I'm gone now

Solace 04:22
lyrics

Was it too much, I'm afraid so I held on for so long I must let go So wipe away your crocodile tears because you were never here And lay awake with your head between your hands because you can't understand So don't drown in disbelief Time was never ours to keep As I wait for the end From my throne I'll descend We're all broken Drowning in the flames until we're frozen And I paid all my dues It's time now for me over you I'm falling down It feels like home when I begin to drown I am gone So don't hold your breadth Forgive the wicked air that leaves your chest I can't breathe So don't drown in disbelief Time was never ours to keep As I wait for the end As I wait for the end

Myself to hold will be consoled Between two lines for this time Losing touch but not so much I'll hold on Hands are cold Eyes are closed It's quiet now It's quiet now Been longing for forever more It's quiet now It's quiet Digging in what was within Now I let go of control I'm a piece when we're apart Now I let go of control Hands are cold Eyes are closed It's quiet now It's quiet now Been longing for forever more It's quiet now It's quiet Hands are cold Eyes are closed It's quiet now It's quiet now Been longing for forever more It's quiet now It's quiet

Piercing eyes Beams of light Taking hold Of my sight Was it enough Was it enough Lost in your gaze Can't back away Hunt me down Hurt me now Burning embers Beams of light Fuel the fire In the night Oh huntress Strike us down Burn this world To the ground You've found your way Won't back away Hunt me down Hurt me now

Fragments enchantments Cauterize it shut because its leaking fold it down again for me return to me, break yourself, return to me, say nothing static, erotic eyes I collapse again and again clarity fluidly intrusive Decompose slowly my son Pestilence reigns over when you're gone Oh my son bring famine death and war When the time comes show them all how you were born Bask in your own sacreligion Sacrifice your morality Strip away rationality Realize a new day has come Shepherd in the days of the broken sun Fragments enchantments Cauterize it shut because its leaking fold it down again for me return to me, break yourself, return to me, say nothing static, erotic eyes I collapse again and again clarity fluidly intrusive Frightening tormenting Bliss in distraction I choke on the effort, slit wrist and an awkward kiss she's frail and falling apart Black shiver sensation is creeping back in Body is failing Is it ending Am I ending Patience bending Impale it Phantom limb installment Pestilence, Famine, War, Death consume us Absolve us from the sins that came before us Beckoning the days of broken sunlight Engulf this world with the wretched breed
