Dr. Thunder - The Amity Affliction

i know that you’ve been searching

for me elsewhere

in the cracks beneath your feet

and in the spaces between walls

in the dark wells of the mirror

(in the space i used to stand)

i know that you’ve been searching

for me elsewhere

in the black pits of my mind

where the tar of my emotions

swirls black and ever thicker

where i retreat to hide from life

(i have the reaper in my heart)

and black tar pits for eyes

i have the cold heart of the lost ones

(and no love to tear us apart)

i know that you’ve been searching

in the spaces between words

but let me tell you

theres nothing there to read.

there to read.

(well i know that you’ve been searching

and you’ve looked inside your heart

but under oceans and in coffins

is a better place to start

better place to start.)

you can’t begin to know the depths

of the abyss

until you’ve lost it all

until you’ve seen yourself

'cause that reflection

just ain’t what it used to be it sure as hell ain’t what i want to see

(well i know that you’ve been searching

and you’ve looked inside your heart

but under oceans and in coffins

is a better place to start)

heart break is the burden i bear

and the bottle’s is the blood i smear

oh just burdens

just guilt

just loss

and just fear

(well i know that you’ve been searching

and you’ve looked inside your heart

but under oceans and in coffins

is a better place to start

well i know that you’ve been searching

and you’ve looked inside your heart

but under oceans and in coffins

is a better place to start)
