Contrast Lyrics

Artist: Phoenix Mourning
Album: When Excuses Become Antiques

You are everything everyone wanted you to be
Now it's time for closure
So I hand you your own eyes back so you can see
That a whore is priceless in a mind that we erased
Peel back new skin
You can still save face

In vain I will lead you to this blade and show you the way
But in my heart and with this love
I refuse to let you die today
Lay us to rest in your red river
You will drown in shame
You can not see that you are the water not the victim
It is victims that you claim

Hold on wait for the moment
Capture it and never let it go
A last chance for understanding
But I will not let it show
I held on and waited for
What was never mine, and never yours

I brought flowers to decorate your funeral
But they just died alone with me in the car
And I never made it out alive my love
This etched blade with our names has created two scars

Spread our wings and through heavens we fly
We are forever our love will never die
We were once divided
But now we see as one again
Your restless soul will not sleep
Until it's released of memories of me

Hold on wait for the moment
Capture it and never let it go
A last chance for understanding
But I will not let it show
I held on and waited for
What was never mine, and never yours

As we aspired to be more
Your love remained a revolving door
And as we proceeded, I gave you all you needed
But in your eyes the sky was falling
This door no longer revolving
A last chance for understanding
Hand in hand we wrote this ending

In vain, you can
Faceless love
With masks that we wear proudly
Removing them to see what we want to see
We are comforted by small talk and sweet kisses
Isn't love bliss?

Hold on wait for the moment
Capture it and never let it go
A last chance for understanding
But I will not let it show
I held on and waited for
What was never mine, and never yours
Hold on wait for the moment
