Lyrics
You were light in a dead-gray sky Warm breath in a winter night Soft hands on a shaking spine Slow dance in a failing light Every promise a quiet lie Every whisper a sharpened knife We were writing our names in ash On the edge of a dying life Love dies, everything dies Every flame turns black inside We keep praying to empty skies No answer, just static lines We’re not headed for pearly heights We just fall where the map runs dry Past the gate where the angels end We’re walking to the fuck end Your voice like a ghost in walls Thin cracks in the bedroom gloss Every touch was a loaded gun Pulled back ‘til the spring felt soft We were building a fragile god Out of bones that were bound to rot Every heartbeat a counting clock Every kiss just another loss Love dies, everything dies Every flame turns black inside We keep praying to empty skies No answer, just static lines We’re not headed for pearly heights We just fall where the map runs dry Past the gate where the angels end We’re walking to the fuck end No streets paved in shining gold Just dust in our choking throats No choir in a halo glow Just echoes of all we broke Hold tight as the skyline bends Black sun where the dawn should spin Our love was a borrowed hymn Fades out as the dark floods in Love dies, everything dies Every flame turns black inside We keep praying to empty skies No answer, just static lines We’re not headed for pearly heights We just fall where the map runs dry Past the gate where the angels end We’re walking to the fuck end Love dies, everything ends We’re walking to the fuck end
