Empty City (Demo)

lyrics

so you've found me in this dark
with my lack of valor and grace
you mustn't be alarmed,
but don't you hold my heart with disdain

you've found me here below
all the morals I have grown to,
but you have always known
I was meant for none other than doom
and my moment is coming soon

you must love me while you can
because soon will come my end
I, oh I need to hold your hand
in mine when the light
has gone from the sky

mocking are the shadows
still, that means there is light yet
really I can't be thrown
we each ready our own deaths

please dance with me while you can
because soon we'll reach the end
I, oh I need to hold your hand
in mine when the light
has gone from the sky
your breath on my chest
when the black is all that's left

I'll dream of always love while I sleep on without hope

my heart is an empty city
like yours, so full of smoke
leftover from tranquility
and dreams from which I never woke

I'll dream of always love while I sleep on without hope
I'll dream of always love
