lyrics

That shadowed curve inside your withered hand;
Hollow strength of years gone by;
It's a past that fell, just dimly lit;
Through modern peace and quiet.

You’ll hold these feelings cut and dry;
You’ll hold that distance cruel but kind;
This sits alone, half out-grown;
This burden finally released.

When i was still a young man, a long time past;
I learned of death, weakness half past;
Beside these hands, alone one night;
It’s a place i’ll never see.

I’d never really felt, I’d ever been a child;
I had grown alone, no care from another;
Fist and claw, I learned to survive;
I became an honest working man.

As my life crept past, I think I lost touch;
I came to hold brutal apathy;
And suddenly, in a flash;
I saw that i was hollow.

And i thought that i knew myself;
And i thought that i knew these calloused hands;
But back then, one night;
Quite suddenly I… I… I…
I lost control.



And soon I felt the blood as it sat inside my flesh;
I felt these my muscles drawn, so tight beneath my skin.

And though my mouth is shut, my heart still breaks;
My arms can't bear this sin. I feel the burden of being;
Alone in my, final days.

I see these faults through aging, dimming memories;
And though my mouth is dry, my eyes are wide;
My arms won't bear this sin.



Though I'm sick of being dull;
In my life I've lost control;
And seeing past these eyes;
Means seeing past these lies.

I'd met myself, one night, alone, but face to face;
and what I did, was… 
and what I did, was…
I killed the one thing…
