Conduit - Converge

There was nothing that I ever wanted more

Than for you to hold this deep within your heart

To lay beside me as my halo burns deep to cinder

And to wake me from my tired life

To give this ghost a home again

When you fall short and I fall short

This is where I pretend I’m as tall as the sky

Now there is no comfort in your apology

And no comfort in this shame

This is where I can duck for cover

From the overwhelming, the forever overhead

For the heart of old time’s sake I’ll stay warm with this

Numb from the neck up

She married me with a sympathy kiss

She married me in a heart shaped tomb

These days daydreams don’t burn as bright as they used to

Your broken promises boil over

Every syllable my swinging hammer

And every hesitation is loss to them

In the name of those lost to you

For them this time it is war

For me it’s easier to just walk away
