Ode

from Night Terror by Greylines

/

lyrics

Can you hide it in your soul,
can you carry it away before it hits you?
Will you make yourself unknown for just another day
behind the dead truth?
I know how it’s been killing you
So what are you going to do?
Is it something that you know you know you’ll never say
unless you tell me?
A secret that you hold
A promise that you’ll break
So overwhelming
Take anything that you want from me
Take all
Take everything that you want and leave

But first, bring me your tears to wipe away
So you can disappear again into the night to play
But you’ll return with the risen sun
sadly shining, finding what you’ve done

I’ve been empty as your room
and the bed where we don’t sleep
Kept awake inside a tomb
with heavy eyes too red to weep
I’m frozen in your spell
and shackled legs won’t let me leave
Starve me while I starve myself
long enough to set them free
I’m a window sitter aching
to the night and what it brings
A brittle patience that is breaking
while the nightingale sings
a somber elegy before
the cold air shows me my last breath
Nameless here forevermore
bearing the bony hands of death
Take all that you want from me
Take all
Take everything that you want and leave
Take all
