lyrics

THIS PLACE IS A PLAGUE:

What you gave was far greater than anything you took
But all that you took I’ll never get back

The mirror’s venom sinks deep
But no deeper than the marks you left
Still present on my neck
Lingering, lingering on

What you restored in me you gave up yourself
Your emptiness consumed you like my encumbrance drowned me
Bright blue against pale white and deep black in blinding light

All I hoped was for you to remain a shadow
In darkness you’d remain ideal
But this light reveals all and I cannot bring myself to shine it upon me
So I’ll blot our your memory in light
And reveal the deceiver in you

No greater a sinner you were than gullible I was
No less a saint than I was a vessel, empty
Now fill me with grief and ship me off to sea

I was never meant to be here
This place is a plague
I was never meant to be here
This place is poison in my veins
