Parkway Drive - Five Months lyrics

rate me

The night creeps through my bones with a winter’s chill

Sending shivers down my spine, like cold hands across my skin

Five months have past and taken with them every sense of warmth

Until my blood ran cold and life stood still

And still I hold my breath, counting the nights I’ve stood with my heart in hand

And still I hold my breath, counting the nights

Waiting for silence to break me down again

If only you could see it in my eyes, how much it means

Your touch, your smile, to a heart that’s beat has long since given out and given in

The night opens wide, swallowing every sense

Embracing me with emptiness

The hours have become irritations and I find myself reduced to life’s imitation

How can we truly say we are alive when everything I see in me is screaming otherwise?

It’s screaming otherwise

‘Cause five months have past and taken with them every sense of warmth

Until my blood ran cold and life stood still

The hours have become irritations and I find myself reduced to life’s imitation
