Album: Indian Summer
It wasn’t just embezzlement, you thieving witch, you don’t know the half of it We’ve been in and out of near destitution
Terrified and disillusioned
All of this on your wretched hands, you tore apart a family man
So he took a drink and then the drink took him
And its been this way nearly each night since
Incredulous, track back, cheques bounce, façade cracks, we will fall apart,
you open your scars
Lost in the dark, we fall you’ll soon beg to be set free and see
My family stand tall with me But you’ll never get that chance
This is all that you have left, how could you laugh as you watched us all fall
apart?
Two children lost in the dark
The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief, scratch and claw,
through tooth and nail, but you will never take integrity from me I earned to listen and I listened well
To a steady slew of trivial pleasures, with nothing left to kindle the blood
But a sordid tryst, a yielding to lust you fucked it up, so back to back,
you cover your tracks, but remember when you can’t hide from us Hither at the end of the river
Lave in the burning shambles, perceived as fools, you played us all,
you answer to the coven call, you’re hand in hand amidst the ghouls
I hope you hear this in your sleep
When in your dreams you cannot breath
You’ll look up and you’ll see me Taking back the youth that you stole from me My fathers hands used to shake
