Your Turncoat Heart Lyrics

by Qip

Sorrow seeps into the thirsty soil

A shred of truth

Keeps crushing down your soul

The world outside turns calm now

The universe within implodes

Recollapsed under all denials

A slow motion apocalypse

Is your conscience still in need of relief?

After all these years

The guilt

The shame

Their cancelled tomorrows

Every day of your life is a fucking lie

Your turncoat heart gives birth

To an agony that binds you to the past

The trail goes cold

As you try to clamour down

A vivid memory of blood and hair

In the stolen van

Sorrow keeps crushing down

The days stretch forth

As you howl without a sound

The days stretch forth

To pave your way to hell

A trail of bodies pressed

Into the veiny flesh of the earth

The years go by

These glazed eyes fade away

A bruise, a shock, a desperate tangle

A quick bullet in someone's head

Someone got in a stranger’s car

Someone's left in a roadside trench

Someone almost got away

To die a horrible death in the end

Is your conscience still in need of relief?

After all these years

The guilt

The shame

Their cancelled tomorrows

Every day of your life is a fucking lie

Your turncoat heart gives birth

To an agony that binds you to the past

Sorrow creeps into your savage heart

The weight of truth

Keeps crushing down your soul

The world outside oblivious

The universe within implodes

Recollapsed under all denials

You fall
