lyrics

The book of my life may be second hand
But you may still find a few petals
Pressed between its pages.
I'll give you all the ellipses and ampersands
If you just save your etceteras for me.

I knew you were crying in the next room
But I feigned a deafness
To the patter of those tears.
I tried to find inspiration in a vacuum
But I lacked the provision of years.

Our lives were elsewhere and we knew it,
So with a sundial for a compass
We turned away from the light.
But between opening that door
And walking through it
The roads all receded from sight.

And I know
I'm not all that you wanted
But I'll be all that you need
For the day, the night
And everything in between.

I will never feel easy in this skin
So I will only accept happiness
When there is nothing left to long for.
I've no time for the times we are living in
They are just a tourniquet
For glory days gone before.

I hear regrets are always the last to leave
As we move further away
From the memories that define us.
You can take hope
And you can take heaven,
But not simultaneously.
Our footprints don't remain long behind us.

I'm not all that you wanted
But I'll be all that you need
For the day, the night
And everything in between.

You said you'd rather see the devil in its true form
Than embodied in the deeds of men and boys.
Don't wish these worries dead,
Prefer them unborn;
This isn't silence,
We're just waiting for noise.

I'm not all that you wanted
But I'll be all that you need
For the day, the night
And everything in between.

Yes the book of my life is second hand
But what Fate annotates can never be erased.
How long will I stay?
As long as I can stand.
Always, always, always.

I'm not all that you wanted
But I'll be all that you need
For the day, the night
And everything in between.
