lyrics

Ship's pulling in, light house is hidden
Your thoughts are thin, your mind's forbidden
Unload the barrels of the ancient blood you stole
Fog blows cold, whispers softly, your life's on hold

Wake up with a bottle staring up into the void
Everyone's gone except for me, who I avoid
Dry off the rain and wipe the dirt off from your coat
It's time to fold, you always lose with your life on hold

For all my years, I've been mistaken
Your poison tongue was weak and shaking
I trusted you would give me everything I need
You robbed me blind, and then you sold me a life on hold

I read your letter, yes it tangled up my mind
You're feeling better, but I only feel behind
I'm sweeping up the pain you left me in your wake
Now you're dressed in gold, while I'm wearing black for a life on hold

Time slips away, light as a feather
And I lose track of things untethered
You'll pull the blinds one day and take a final bow
Your tale's untold, as you lose control of a life on hold

Far out to sea, beyond the sunset
Inside the clouds, no room for regret
I'll use your weakness just to harness my own strength
Do what I'm told, yes I'll take some help for a life on hold
