New Gloom

Hold the halo with your horns

Collect the heart beneath your feet

the shattered minds, your crown of thorns

Spare my life, let that heart beat

Pulled up by your hands

Head held up then our eyes meet

So much you misunderstand

I'm pressed to dust, how bittersweet.

You lie in your skin, proud of your lost happiness but still I hope you find your smile

Somewhere down the line, far from now, you'll forgive yourself and find your life worthwhile

Living mislead, now you're a pretender.

Kept in the back of my head, you'll never surrender

We both know how you hold this knife

I met the ghost of you, I always knew that I wouldn't survive

You're a fraud to stay alive

Wallow in grief and death of integrity.

No longer intertwined,

My fingers break so I can thrive

I am the core of nothing, I wear a mask to hide my soul

Wishing there was something to fill my chest, an empty hole

Bury me, I haven't been myself in years

Bury me, keep me there forever

Leave nothing with me

No longer alone

You lie in your skin, proud of your lost happiness but still I hope you find your smile

Somewhere down the line, far from now, you'll forgive yourself and find your life worthwhile

Living mislead, now you're a pretender.

Kept in the back of my head, you'll never surrender

We both know how you hold this knife

I met the ghost of you, I always knew that I wouldn't survive

Falsify my woes, rip away my honor

I won't feel a thing, perpetual misery

I'll take back my life if you don't mind and I will see you on the other side
