lyrics

Without your song
Without your light
I’ll hold out
It’s the breath on your neck
Corpse hands pressing
Cold clean promise of release
Just behind the veil
It’s the wind in the trees
Velvet darkness closing
Closer in on all sides
Despite day or night now
Though I’m not ready
You can’t be ready
And I am not ready
You can’t be
I don’t want to go on
I don’t want to go on
Without your song
Without your light
I’ll hold out for you
Just to see this fight
Without your song
Without your light
I’ll hold out for you
Just to see this fight
It’s the breath on your neck
Corpse hands pressing
Cold clean promise of release
Just behind the veil
It’s the wind in the trees
Velvet darkness closing
Closer in on all sides
Despite day or night now
Though I’m not ready
You can’t be ready
And I am not ready
You can’t be
I don’t want to go on
I don’t want to go on
Without your song
Without your light
I’ll hold out for you
Just to see this fight
Without your song
Without your light
I’ll hold out for you
Just to see this fight
It’s the breath on your neck
Corpse hands pressing
Cold clean promise of release
Just behind the veil
It’s the wind in the trees
Velvet darkness closing
Closer in on all sides
Despite day or night now
Though I’m not ready
You can’t be ready
And I am not ready
You can’t be
I don’t want to go on
I don’t want to go on
Secret speak at dusk
