lyrics

It's splitting hairs to say
I would have missed you anyway
Well, how was I to know
That you'd be dead before the morning came?
It's safe to breath again
I must remember to breathe
It used to be so easy
To tell when you're asleep

I must show discipline
I must be quiet about these heinous ways
I've seen the darkness
Hidden beneath the path I take
But I've been gone for so long now
I've torn my skin, I've cracked my brow
Can you still feel me
Trying to push the darkness out?

There's places you can be
Where separation from your destiny
Might save you from yourself
And all that you entail

When daylight breaks
You know I'll make it right

Death has his starry eyes on you
And it must come as no surprise
To see that exit sign flashing red
And to have it pointed right at your head

As daylight breaks
You know that I don't want to be here anymore

Sweet Lenore
You hold the door
To where the thundering cannons roar
Sweet Lenore
In pieces four
And they're scattered out on the floor.
