Bereave - Before I Turn

«I see the moonlight hit her skin

As if trying to shed light on her morbidity

I pretend her eyes are fixated on me

But they’re fixated on nothing

They’re dull and lifeless just like the night itself

But why does it feel like I’ve lost you long ago?

Why does it feel like this stagnant emotion

Has carried me forever?»

Her pupils getting wider by the seconds

Are getting duller as the reaper beckons her

She lets it in;

one last breath

And holds it in, waiting for death

Try to ignore the pain

We’ll never kiss again, we’ll never kiss again

Trying to hide my shame

I tell her it’s alright;

it’s just a bad night

Choking as you start to cry, let me look you in your eyes

Everything around me dies, so darling, rest your head

The blood, it stings my eyes, and so I watch you die

You deserve eternal peace, but death, it comes in threes

First my love, then my pride, then my fucking self

Try living life with your heart on a shelf

I’ve killed my love and my pride, now I’ll kill myself

I’ve murdered all the fucking love that I felt

Try to ignore the pain

Try to ignore the pain

We’ll never kiss again, we’ll never kiss again

Trying to hide my shame

I tell her it’s alright;

it’s just a bad night

Try to ignore the pain

We’ll never kiss again, we’ll never kiss again

Trying to hide my shame

I tell her it’s alright;

it’s just a bad night

My love, my mind played tricks on me

My eyes can’t believe what they see

My love, my love, don’t make a sound

My eyes, they say you’re dead on the ground

Try to ignore the pain

We’ll never kiss again, we’ll never kiss again

Trying to hide my shame

I’ll never see you again, 'cause I’m a very bad man
