Shudder

from Night Terror by Greylines

lyrics

I found myself down the road
quiet as a ghost
In the shadows all alone
I trembled when I spoke
“Where’d you think I’d end up falling like that?”
Cold face to concrete and a wounded back
Oh how she loves you and she tells you to stay
But she’s not talking now she’s miles away
So who are you? I’m nothing new
A ceiling cracking to cave
Slowly used, coldly forgotten, thrown away

You took my sadness from me
and clenched it behind your back until it couldn’t breathe
It’s my gravest memory
And then there came a night when
it turned into a knife you wouldn’t let me see
You stabbed it right back into me

Am I the bloody mess you’ve been dying to see
climbing the stairs up to your balcony?
Too many nights I took that flight
but you weren’t waiting for me
Just my own ghost in the doorway
telling me to leave

You took my sadness from me
and clenched it behind your back until it couldn’t breathe
It’s my gravest memory
And then there came a night when
it turned into a knife you wouldn’t let me see
You stabbed it right back into me

And then my blood ran cold to your steady hands
and read your palms and tried to understand
But it all ran out and washed away
in your eyes as they cried to a dead man’s face
Shuddering, shuddering

Will it be someone else tonight?
Is there a reason why you keep me in your heart with veins to wander?
Would it be easier if I could find my way into your mind and sacrifice myself in your honor?
