lyrics

I can taste your lips on mine
Morning rain and broken static sunshine
Meet your eyes and I desire
Distant memories sleep next to me
These ghostly shadows of you make a mark and set my soul on fire

I'm burning without you

I can feel the absence of myself inside an empty room
Grasping for the edges for something small to hold on too
I'd make myself a shadow if it means you're still around
And then some how I still think the the light always let me down
Always let me down.

I can feel your breath on me
In the night awake to an electric nightmare
That's made of my design
And everything that seemed so close to me now
Sleeps so far away and haunts me with the passing of the night

I'm burning without you

I can feel the absence of myself inside an empty room
Grasping for the edges for something small to hold on too
I'd make myself a shadow if it means you're still around
And then some how I still think the the light always let me down
Always let me down.

I can feel the absence of myself inside an empty room
Grasping for the edges for something small to hold on too
I'd make myself a shadow if it means you're still around
And then some how I still think the the light always let me down

You always let me down.

I can taste your lips on mine, I can feel your breath on me
And then lie away awake into an electric nightmare
That's made of my design

Well you always let me down.
