The Ballad of the Broken
(Where would we be without music?)

EnviousTwilight: If I find my way through the darkest of days, Will I laugh about the things that kept me awake?

Someone:
will you be weighed upon a wider scale? Or are you too afraid to see what keeps you down?

EnviousTwilight: If I don't come home tonight, Just know I tried my best to fight.

Someone:
and tell your kin to keep your coffin closed.

EnviousTwilight: Everyone’s alive but ill
Let’s take deep breaths
And lock the doors so no one has to know.

Someone:
And how sad that the light creeps in like cockroaches and you greet your visitor with one short statement: Hello my name is distance and i don't care if i ever wake up again.

EnviousTwilight: So go past the lights and all the excuses. You could have left, sincerely yours. Don't you think it's obvious that I want to say more? But anything too daring to say to you, Will be said in this letter, then burned away, So you never realize, I'm here.

Someone:
and then to realize that it's the diamonds and pills that keep you home, but the glamour that kills when you leave.

EnviousTwilight: I'm thinking of your vague reply, So I can understand, Why we put this at rest, Why we forget to, Say that we were leaving, And say that we were sorry,The past remains unspoken,
As this vacant night is dying.

Someone:
and you'll walk your razors edge forgeting to balance.

EnviousTwilight: This cold air brings in such a distance to us, Such a painful distance.

Someone:
and you'll look deep in your eyes and see the darkness that torments you and in your head where it dwells.

EnviousTwilight: But I'm still waiting for you to say, you hate me now, So I don't have too. Hold on to this burning heart,This burning heart is getting old,
It's getting old.

Someone:
he laid emeralds in her eyes, oh but i'd already tried. A bracelet made of gold and scarlet thread around her wrist. and everything was wrong so we sang sentimental songs. Oh how seldom we belong but how elegant our kiss. And we painted crooked lies but we danced in perfect time to a love so much refined, we know not what it is until like a dullen wine we pour into a grief we've known before but never quite like this.

EnviousTwilight: Separate the coward and the curse, you won't change. It's not like we have anything thats left to lose. so come on come on lets be brave.

Someone:
All I know now is regret, she follows like a silhouette along the cobblestone behind me, she's nothing much to say except to innocently ask, in a voice delicate as glass, "Do you see me when we pass?" but I continue on my way./

EnviousTwilight: You've left me with such a silent world,
Where evenings are calm, but I'm restless And my breath has become as thin as the wind. Not even the mighty sky could fill the space you left behind .Not even when it rains.No, nothing takes your place Your emptiness too great to fill.

Someone:
Down the empty corridor to the coroner,. It's clear, you've got what they want, and they'll find you. Haunted and haunting, we are followed by shadows... Plagued by what we know.

EnviousTwilight: Today in a breeze I sensed your perfume, but you were nowhere near. And in reverie, I felt you holding me. And even in my dreams I shake from the fear, of truth being swept away, By the rhythm of the waves I whisper in your ears.

Someone:
i am all out

Someone:
i cannot think of anything to counter that.

EnviousTwilight: Darling keep your, keep your voice low
If you can't recall your lines Maybe they won't, they won't notice
That you're hiding the script, Hiding the script under your sleeves

Someone:
Fine you win goddamnit

EnviousTwilight: One more?


Someone:
fine, victory line

EnviousTwilight: Sleep well, darling, wherever you are
I hope that your happy tonight
and maybe you found someone who will love you right. Sleep well, darling .I'm desperate to say now I need you more than ever, but all I could say was goodnight

EnviousTwilight: Lately I've been hoping you can stay with me, And I could hold you close 'til the end of time. Maybe someday we will grab some change and run away,
but for now I'll learn to say goodbye.
