This Life as a Dagger

Lyrics

It took me almost a year to come
 I thought I'd appear here prior
 Therefor shorter was the time
 Until I found the place you sleep
 ♪
 Our past caught up with me again
 This horizon of mountains, as always threatening
 Rose up behind me, anything but well-disposed
 Like an all shattering orb
 Well, that escalated quickly, unsurprisingly
 Cause as we know now, we were raised by wolves
 So take care if you fuck with the fast
 The past at least won't fuck you...
 ♪
 Never... ...ever... this melancholy will pass...
 I set a foot in our city and I feel so relegated
 The days we lived here as kids, don't seem too far gone
 As we hid in these fields together and bolt into the rye
 ♪
 I destroyed their childhood memories
 In getting one thing straight
 And in doing so, I tried to set their world on fire
 Now I came for your graveyard
 For the very first time these days
 Finally set out for a fleeting visit...
 ...in the dead of a night...
 ♪
 I carried this picture for the last two hundredth and eighty days
 Just to put it near your last smile, so near, but far beyond
 Then I did all my tweak and sniffed it off your tombstone
 Oh believe me brother, I gulped it all in one...
 ♪
 I'll never write peace on your wings
 And let you simmer wordlessly
 You promised me, that if we leave this place
 We set free as one
 But you spoke the words of a coward!
 Fuck! What have you done?!
 Now I will smell their scorched earth
 Until I retire my own worn body...
 ...or I will finally choke on this city's mephitic air...
 ♪
 Never... ...ever...
 This melancholy will pass...
 I set a foot in our city and I feel so relegated
 The days we lived here as kids
 Don't seem too far gone
 As we hid in these fields together
 And bolt into the rye... 5.The Traces We Leave
