Melpomene

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cold had I calloused Walls were raised to bear the weight I'd not take Too slow were my senses Muted musings lost their way; disconnected Only silence remained, holding my breath in the dark Gasping for air with the lungs of a lark [Verse 2] So warm was your welcome; humble in its embrace Tell me, just how did you save me; Pull me up from the grave? Though my youth did mislead, I would retreat to you Right back to your arms with my spirit aglow Where the pains of the past exit en masse; through you Too lost when we part, with the lungs of a lark [Verse 3] I, far removed from myself, had denied what I lost when my heart had withdrawn to the fray In a whimsical way, I would flee from the truth I could bury in youth You would have me, if I'd fallen again Would you bring me back out of the dark, with my lungs of a lark? [Outro] Cold have I calloused, but these walls are coming down
