Fire Walk With Me by Katabasis Lyrics
Sick of death and sick of life
Watched the sun devour the night
I'm always following the ghost of melancholy
Life has chained me
And taken me under the wings of tormented dreams
And when it all crashed down
As did my certainty
Another night burning flowers
As it serves as a reminder of words growing thin
Asphyxiated from the sight of you
And I severed the tongue
That grew incapable of speaking your name
Buried it with the promises of which we couldn't obtain
And I lie in the soil waiting for you to call my name
You found warmth in a place once cold
Left me to die and watch my heart erode
Stayed in your shadow and watched you bloom
It's lovely from a distance but leaves me bruised
My role as a placeholder has come and gone
Left to figure out where it all went wrong
Now I sleep in an altered state
You haunt me in my dreams
And leave me to inhale apathy
As your every breath
Pierces my arteries
So I avoid sleep
As the fear of waking up is taking its toll on me
I don't wanna open my eyes to a life once pure and clean
I wanna beg for you to come and save me
But this complacency has purged me
Pray to be numb
As the ache never leaves
Your blood has made its home in my veins
A heart that once beat in unison with mine
Writes the death note to this life
So I dig to the earth’s core to search for all abandoned
And all I find
Is the torture adored
Chained to your roses thorn
And all the secrets I chose to ignore
Mirror fades to black
Felt you through the cracks
Death comes and gives me a light
Life fades in this darkness of mine
Painting walls with these memories
I'm just a cog in this suicide machine
Trying to clear my head
But this damage is done
I'll wither away instead
Let me be the first to die in your flowerhead
Every flower whispers your name
As if I was still engraved in your brain
Every flower whispers your name
For you are still engraved in my brain
My ghost will trace your name in the dirt upon my grave
Watched the sun devour the night
I'm always following the ghost of melancholy
Life has chained me
And taken me under the wings of tormented dreams
And when it all crashed down
As did my certainty
Another night burning flowers
As it serves as a reminder of words growing thin
Asphyxiated from the sight of you
And I severed the tongue
That grew incapable of speaking your name
Buried it with the promises of which we couldn't obtain
And I lie in the soil waiting for you to call my name
You found warmth in a place once cold
Left me to die and watch my heart erode
Stayed in your shadow and watched you bloom
It's lovely from a distance but leaves me bruised
My role as a placeholder has come and gone
Left to figure out where it all went wrong
Now I sleep in an altered state
You haunt me in my dreams
And leave me to inhale apathy
As your every breath
Pierces my arteries
So I avoid sleep
As the fear of waking up is taking its toll on me
I don't wanna open my eyes to a life once pure and clean
I wanna beg for you to come and save me
But this complacency has purged me
Pray to be numb
As the ache never leaves
Your blood has made its home in my veins
A heart that once beat in unison with mine
Writes the death note to this life
So I dig to the earth’s core to search for all abandoned
And all I find

And all the secrets I chose to ignore
