Retrograde

Silverstein

6

It all hangs in the balance, it′s all a blur

This broken neck holds the weight of the world

The devil's finally admitted every deedScarecrows and hotels, a savage thrill

They come to life as your guts start to spill

And as it cuts and bleeds, a statue forms in me

I stand here frozen. I stand here frozen

I wish I could forget it

It′s so hard I'll never get it right

Cold hearts on a colder night

The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

I wish I could forget it

It's so hard I′ll never get it right

Cold hearts on a colder night

The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

They said this place would be different, it′s still the same

I'm sanded faceless you′ve taken my name

A beaten mind won't heal, it takes you where you′ve been

Thorn in my stomach, pain in my side

You're smashing protons as two worlds collide

With hands as cold as steel I feel you holding me

I stand here frozen. I stand here frozen

I wish I could forget it

It′s so hard I'll never get it right

Cold hearts on a colder night

The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

I wish I could forget it

It's so hard I′ll never get it right

Cold hearts on a colder night

The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

So I walked out of the valley

I let myself feel the sun on my bare back

And melt the dirt off my skin

I let the breeze of the wind cleanse me

I let the elements in

It was my only fucking option

And again I was whole

And again I thought I could feel something one day

But this planet doesn′t have a sun

It only has a moon that's lifeless

And every light that shines is a dead reflection

I wish I could forget it

It′s so hard I'll never get it right

Cold hearts on a colder night

The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

I wish I could forget it

It′s so hard I'll never get it right

Cold hearts on a colder night

The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
