Testo: The Autumn Offering. A Great Distance.

distance has bred avidity
i'm trapped and cannot fail
now i dissolve alone
these days have bled me dry

if lies were true and lies were new
would you still walk alone
or would you sharpen words
that cut me to the bone?

i've been left alone here
to drown in my own fears
darkness cover me tonight
i'm trapped in your shadows
i'm broken by sorrow

love will be denied to me
we're at the ending of our travels
her bitter words i bleed

the grains of our spent lives
the sands are shifting downward
killing what i cannot have

let me melt away the lies
let me take away your soul
i can't make you real
i watched the stars die in your eyes

i've been left alone here
to drown in my own fears
darkness cover me tonight
i'm trapped in your shadows
i'm broken by sorrow

i'm left alone
