lyrics

Did you really think
That I could get over all of this?
You said you knew the pain
You’ve hosed it down so many times
I could sink through it again

Love is funny that way
In that magic, tragic kind of way
How you made me blind
And love was kind enough
To take the blame
But it’s all the same
Just another game

Cuz now you’re dim
You’re dim to my soul
You’re dim to your sin
That I wished you would own
Oh, but you shone bright
For way too long
But you’re dimmer now
Becoming the dark
That will hail the dawn

Distant memories
Come too close for comfort
Too close for peace
Can you push them?
Can you push them away?
Like you pushed the love that wanted to stay
Didn’t you know that it never goes away?

Cuz now you’re dim
You’re dim to my soul
You’re dim to your sin
That I wished you would own
Oh, but you shone bright
For way too long
But you’re dimmer now
Becoming the dark
That will hail the dawn

And I was burning out
As you burned out
And though I’m letting go
You will linger on in my soul
And I will be fine
You’re dimming with time

Shan recommends:

Feeding the lions EP
by ProleteR

I love how ProleteR makes both beats that are sparse and intricate be just as ridiculously catchy. Great melodies to boot. Got "It don't mean a thing" and "Slits" on replay. Shan
