lyrics

Tongued tied again, you’ve got me in a corner.

With silence a trap, we’re running out of ways to save our pride.

A life of control fears the chaos it knows, that never lingers far behind.

You know you’re own tricks, and now you feel sick and petrified.

PRE-CHORUS
You are unravelling, the ghost you leave behind.

We are unraveling, an end we can’t deny.
Time, is something borrowed.
Black and Blue, and all of its sorrow.
Something new, can still grow from the bottom.
The older I get and the less I can say.
The more I forget and the more that remains.

Hungry again, you’re always so damn hungry.
Consume what you please, in the hope to be free and satisfied.
The difference between mankind and beast is the mystery of our time.
Hard to throw out the bath water now that the children have been baptised.

You are unravelling, the ghost you leave behind.
We are unraveling, an end we can’t deny.

Time, is something borrowed.
Black and Blue, and all of its sorrow.
Something new, can still grow from the bottom.
The older I get and the less I can say.
The more I forget and the more that remains.

We are unraveling, the ghosts we leave behind.
We are unraveling, and I’m still by your side.
