lyrics

We both are architects
Of ours scars to bare
My words seems out of place
Your eyes are ablaze, tears sculptures I have made
My mind is fumbling
For words and reasons
But all that comes to me
Are a hundred melodies, knowing pain is not defeat

If all is lost then why don’t you leave?
No need for roses or apologies
Seems we are kites hanging on to a string unraveling

There is a voice and for a blink it’s calm
My eyes see more then I do
Love strikes me as a maze
Endlessly changing shape
Does impatience know the way?
Cal it strength or cowardice
Nothing ends until we so choose
It’s never what we want
Unproblematic art
The science of breaking a heart

If all is lost then why don’t you leave?
No need for roses or apologies
Love that never hurts the ideal to we cling
There’s no such things
If all is lost then why don’t you leave?
No need for roses or apologies
Seems we are kites hanging on to a string unraveling
