intercoda midnight şarkı sözleri
A portrait begs a witness, but fades away if touched
And drift so slowly out of focus
If stared at long enough
Peer beyond its gambler's bluff
An opaque window
Seeking promise
Shielding meaning
Silent screams of secrets faintly hushed
Dark reflections ripple forth from every stone that's thrown
Disturbs the current once subsided, the evening's song a sour tone
The narrative's escaped the script
The wheel is slipping through the grip
Altered locks, the key won't fit
The bottom dollar's counterfeit
The well's gone dry, but just keep hauling
Speed along the interstate
Land's end calling, chasm sprawling
Beckoning a swift escape
Not quite from this world
Always was apart from it
Never really held desire
To ever be a part of it
Cliffs off of a distant island
Waves subsided, still and silent
Edge of post card's blank horizon frame
Note scrawled neatly, so complete
But lacking any semblance
Of meaning, date, intent, or name
The ocean calms, the mirror fogs, the ripples all fall still
An opaque face left staring blank
If looks could only kill
Hope erodes to doubt disguised
Losing fight
A distant star blinks goodbye and softly flickers out of sight
Hope erodes to doubt disguised
Failing light
The day is lost and fades to black
An epitaph
Hanging in the midnight sky
Glass adorning marble floor
Sneering mirror once before
Shot heard round the world
Begins a silent civil war
Isolated island
Face worn in and gaunt
Why do you play so hard to get
When you're already to hard to want
Depressive dilettante
Inept, deceptive wretch
Smothering all those around and
Drowning in your own excess
Apart, aloof, anonymous
Ashamed of every name
Responsible for every trace
Of self-inflicted pain
Lifelong in the wrong
Emotional paperweight
Frail, fragile, fractured frame
Supports your scarred and cratered face
Vexing voice, errant eyes
Caustic charlatan
Fallen fraud, self-absorbed
Harping harlequin
So intent to be alone
Leasing your own private hell
So sleep now in the bed you made
Give it up
