Dearestazazel - Ashland After Midnight lyrics

rate me

They waited till the lights were gone to make the move

Hands crept in the dark reaching out

For you cannot fight it back

Cross the floor to the door

Open

Run

Run

As fast as you can

There is weight to the air

Giving shape to the feeling

This is wrong

This is wrong

Seeking death

This is me killing Christ

I am hammer and nails and a spear in the side

The trees weep

I've never lived through a night like this

And did you think it would be beautiful?

And did you think it would last forever?

They wouldn't let me go

Instead they struck me down and left me dead

And I woke up in someone new

And left my corpse alive for you

A nightmare of you shatters sleep

You were there in tangled flesh

Your mouth wide open

There were two small words on your tongue

"Never you"

Gave it one last look and I shook... and I shook

I poured it down till I'd poured it out

Would the suffering last?

Would it take me fast?

And I heard the mirror say something strange

"We won't have you now"

Then the shape started changing

And did you think I would be everything?

And did you think that I would bring you peace?

They wouldn't let me go

Instead they struck me down and left me dead

And I woke up in someone new

And left my corpse alive for you

The door was shut on its own

Light erased

Body pressed to the sheets

Hold me down

Come inside

And I'd swear I was never so alive

When death was close and satisfied

Closer

Closer

Close to me

Fill me up inside then let me be

The darkness came to hide the fall

Then it overflowed and killed it all

And did you think it would be beautiful?

And did you think it would last forever?

And did you know it would swallow everything?

And did you think it would bring you peace?

They wouldn't let me go

Instead they struck me down and left me dead

And I woke up in someone new

And left my corpse alive for you
