i take it back - MP3

Lyrics

i was as shocked as anyone
the outcome clear, the devil won
and i was left holding on
frozen in the evening sun
i will have to endure their stares
but at least i won't suffer their nightmares

yellow in the morning, blue at night
pale as a whisper, a blinding sight
a shock of my hair was gone
my face was marked by her scorn
scrapes and cuts, from god knows what
better i never know, or i won't let go

i take it back

given time to think it through, i know i would have done things differently
as it was, the air perfumed, i let myself get washed away

i take it back

a week of fasting, my blood is clean
inertia holds me vespertine
the morning will waste away
my shadow growing every day
coloring my memory
until it's all blankly tragedy

i take it back
