lyrics

I’m reminded each day
The tightness in my chest just won’t go away
‘Cause the devil in my ribcage has been staying at bay
But he won’t go away
So I’ll just wait
And I keep these thoughts locked away
What took you from us will come for me someday
But dwelling just keeps me awake
So bury my head in the sand
Closer to the grave

So tell me there will be a sign before I go
Say that I’m okay, say that you know
And tell me I’ll live forever if I try
Just say anything that gets me by

I’m reminded in ways
Like when I bleed it spells your name
Like the way that it keeps me counting the days ’til it takes me away
And I’ll have nothing left to say
But, “Will I meet you at those gates?”

So tell me there will be a sign before I go
Say that I’m okay, say that you know
And tell me I’ll live forever if I try
Just say anything that gets me by

Is there a bad heart in me?
We pass it down through the family tree
Is there a bad heart in me?
Was it the thing that set you free?

So tell me there will be a sign before I go
Say that I’m okay, say that you know
And tell me I’ll live forever if I try
Just say anything that gets me by

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

I've enjoyed them ever since I first saw Damiera in concert. Would love if they put out full length albums, and I even think the songs are creative enough to be extended. Brian Shenk
