lyrics

Long ago in a time that feels like yesterday
There lived a life for which i knewsomeone would have to pay
All the longing, all the pain, and the lonelinesswill one day drag behind you
through the streets in the rain

Long ago is a memory burnt in my head
I wish i could have just silenced all the words you said
All the darkness, all the lies,and the false trust
Rots away at all the innocentlives you’ve touched

Back at the old house where the air hangs dead and still
She dances across the floor while frost kisses the windowsill
In the end there is no warmth, there is no love or light
Just the guilt you’ll drag behind you up this hill of spite
