lyrics

The colour it all drains from us
Like an old picture left out in the rain
My memories they fade of you
An atom that splits in two
And disappears from view
It’s like a bell that never rings
It’s a choir that never sings
A sun that falls at night
Never to rise again
It’s a light that never shines
A clock that never chimes
It’s a pattern on a screen
Turning into the flatline
And the laughter in the hall
It’s all in my mind
Not really there at all
The footsteps that once moved in time
Now they leave no mark
No shadows on the wall
There’s nothing there at all
It’s a bell that never rings
It’s a choir that never sings
A sun that falls at night
Never to rise again
It’s a light that never shines
A clock that never chimes
It’s a pattern on a screen
Turning into the flatline
I was following your shadow
But it never followed me
It lead me to the gallows
Brought to my knees
Now the sky is falling down
And the stars are crashing down
I was floating on the surface
Now I’m sinking far below
The ocean has consumed me
The robe that was this body
Is pulling me down
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
This broken bell it barely chimes
This old heart it hardly beats in time anymore
This broken bell it barely chimes
This old heart it hardly beats in time anymore
