The August Name - Syllables Of A Broken Tongue lyrics

rate me

You have a knack for staring through and far past

I'm invisible to you like my body is made of glass

We've become thin and empty

What a mess you've made of everything

When you let me down take care because I may just shatter

Would it even matter?

Please tell me what it's like to have yourself so figured out

Above the rest of the crowd

You're stretching the truth now

Have you ever thought of consequences that you're in for

Never paying mind to what could be in store

You spread true colors on a white board

This city's packed to the brim with those that can't hold their tongues

The streets are littered with the remnants of chaos that's been done

You can't run because I'll find the pieces of your secrets that lie within

everyone

Even when you're asleep I know your mind is wide awake

Plotting against me

I haven't slept in days

You can't keep a story straight

I can watch the guilt run down your face

Into red soaked palms that once shared kind embrace

I can't unveil your tendencies

They spread like fire through the air we breathe

My body's numb while in your presence

It is draining me

One day you will get lost

By burning every bridge that you cross

Leaving you nothing

This city's packed to the brim with those that can't hold their tongues

The streets are littered with the remnants of chaos that's been done

You can't run because I'll find the pieces of your secrets that lie within

everyone

Awaking, I'm hating how barren we've become

I'm numb inside

I could stare deep into your eyes

The broken hands of fate

Have taken away what has made

The ember turn to fire

I hear the whisper of a ghost fading into black skies that have dawned

before our eyes

All we had is lost
