lyrics

nothing much to say now
things were great until they weren't
no alacrity left in the laughter
every identity deserted
but I've rehearsed the unknowns
and I conduct the atmospheres
rejoice in the sorrows of living
so death can never bring me fear

in-between the breezes
and deep beneath the dirt
where all my daylight freezes
I will shake hands with the hurt
her kiss could stitch the bleeding
but I'd rip it back apart
cause it's the pain that keeps the flames fed
in my hell-infested heart

destruction's I've created
burning inward from both ends
harvesting hate from my lovers
and making strangers out of friends
chained to each awakening
with this disintegrating trust
as time lifts its mirror to my memories
and those reflections start to rust

under cover of the thunder
in my grey headful of rain
when the poor sun's pulled asunder
I'll clock into the void again
cause smiling is a science
when your suffering's an art
but it's the pain that keeps those flames fed
in this hell-infested heart
it's the pain that keeps the flames fed
in my hell-infested heart

in-between the breezes
and deep beneath the dirt
where all the daylight freezes
I will shake hands with the hurt
your kiss could stitch the bleeding
but I'd rip it back apart
cause it's the pain that keeps the flames fed
in my hell-infested heart
it's the pain that keeps the flames fed
in mu hell-infested heart
