lyrics

LYRICS

You have an effervescent heart
It illuminates and polishes your luck
It blinds out all the darkness in your shadow
Illustrate your life in gold
Stand tall and strong for your father
Don't let him see you fall
Hide away your human, your human

Friend you are both my love and enemy
Why do you hope, then die and weep over ghosts you cannot see
Hold your hands and pray, "to the grave with all my shame"
How can I understand when all you do is shudder, it's all you do

Demons howl inside
They rest upon your melancholy eyes
Petty coiled lies, there'll be a time they haunt you
Falling through time
Life dies, fathers turn to dust
We all are made to rust
Die to our human, to our human

Friend you are both my love and enemy
Why do you hope, then die and weep over ghosts you cannot see
Hold your hands and pray, "to the grave with all my shame"
How can I understand when all you do is shudder, it's all you do

My loyal soldier's moving on, from fabricating all the words I've sung
Hey I'm giving you a chance to free your soul
I've carried stones in my heart for too long, begging on my knees for love
Hey I'm giving you a chance, awaken your soul
'Cause I know it's never too late, for you

Friend you are both my love and enemy
Why do you hope, then die and weep over ghosts you cannot see
Cling on to your hands and pray, "to the grave with all my shame"
How can I understand when all you do is shudder, it's all you do
