Lament Lyrics - Singles - Ashengrace

this darkening winter blows across my aching heart 

my strength is ebbing, my soul is coming further and further apart 

I've never seen a drier season, never known such burning heat 

and just beyond the door, the constant reminders of defeat 

I sometimes don't want to believe that all we were has come to this 

all my hopes, all your promises so easily dismissed 

you hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see 

and all these things are all you want and none of them are me 

this feeling is fading, this promise lied, this soul has nothing to feel inside 

these friends forget, these stars will fall, these words mean nothing to you at all 

this child is abandoned, this dark burns clear, the one who believed in me disappears 

this love is over, this endless dread is all I have left to feel instead 

oh, it grows upon you like a raven perched above your door 

it meets you face to face but always leaves you face down on the floor 

never summon what you cannot dismiss it goes on with every kiss 

like shadows of all that came before it stays with you forevermore
