Lyrics Manuscript
[Verse 1] Dust on the chapel glass Moon like a Hunter’s mark Old prayers hang in the rafters I listen But they never talk back Faces flicker and fade Names fall apart in my hands Centuries stacked in the shadows I count them like grains of sand [Chorus] I drink the night But starve for meaning Crimson years that never end Immortal heart Forever bleeding Everyone I touch Turns into a ghost again Alone in the dark With a life that never ends [Verse 2] Laughter in tavern smoke Turned into neon haze Different costumes Same stories They promise forever Then age I stand where the roads all meet Invisible Sharp as a stake Your heartbeat drums in the distance I step back for your own sake [Chorus] I drink the night But starve for meaning Crimson years that never end Immortal heart Forever bleeding Everyone I touch Turns into a ghost again Alone in the dark With a life that never ends [Bridge] How many winters Can bury one soul How many lovers Can I watch grow old I’m tired of the hunger Tired of this skin Trade every sunrise I’ll ever see For one honest ending [Chorus] I drink the night But starve for meaning Crimson years that never end Immortal heart Forever bleeding Everyone I touch Turns into a ghost again Alone in the dark With a life that never ends
“Every century changes its clothes, but grief arrives wearing the same face.”
