The Middle Goes Down Lyrics - The Black Dahlia Murder

Cold winter cuts - a heart that couldn't heal 

destroyed by it's own stupidity 

a frozen smile - cracks backing frigid lies 

I shelter beneath a veil of happiness - a delicate facade 

and snow falls as to bury what we had 

everything we left behind 

although your loving eyes - have left my gaze forever 

they've been captured in my sleep - although this vacant heart 

can't go on any longer - I feel your soft breath in my dreams 

but it shall not be - I cannot shake these feelings 

I can't renounce - this love for you is all I know 

I am controlled by sorrow - my hope forever lost 

bested by my weakness - will the spring's warmth never come? 

And the snow 

still heaping on this broken back 

I am lost within its persistence 

you took the meaning 

from this withered soul 

I have no strength without your touch 

and so it was - and can never be again 

and so it was - and will never ever be again. 

Lost - this love for you is all I know. 

Weakness - will the spring's warmth never come? 

A little child crying - from the bunk below 

I still love you - I can't cut that tie from my life 

love born in regret? Was our blight carved into stone? 

The stone that lines my heart - I wish I never loved you 

cold sweat and eaten nails - I did this all for you. 

A broken heart - a clenched fist full of hair - I did this all for you 

and any other embrace - will just turn into shit 

in the shadow of our former love 

I'd trade a bloody wrist - to live forever in those nights 

but the deed hath still been done
