lyrics
I dragged my bones northwards,
while you headed south,
I wrote my fingers bloody,
Scratching out your name,
Across what’s left of the bed where we lay,
Dragging and scratching forever and a day.
These twisted hands can’t wander anymore,
They’re just a pale shadow of all that I abhor.
I clawed my name, scrawled,
In the dust of your bones,
I retched my throat bloody,
Screaming out your name,
Hoping it would bring you back to life,
Clawing and retching forever and a day.
These twisted hands can’t wander anymore,
They’re just a pale shadow of all that I abhor.
These twisted hands can’t wander anymore,
They’re just a pale shadow of all that I abhor.
