The Trauma Coil Lyrics - Singles - Faith And The Muse

Another night down on the catherine wheel 

Drawn into a corner 

A symphony of resounding shrieks in my head 

I court a sure, sudden death 

But give no quarter 

A paper soul tears the heart from the mind 

Searing is the morning, a tenement of lights 

Lost inside the attic 

On the floor again with a head full of rain 

Wander with the shadows of shelter and smiles 

Bleeding in a stairwell 

Fever-staggered steps and a mouth so dry 

Three liquid words collapse 

Blind and chasing sirens 

Five years of night time and a heart made of tin 

Allow your sympathies the length of a table 

I recognize no brother 

Lash out at their smiles and walk in through their eyes 

As my knowledge, does the knowing 

Split my being from past days 

In decision, in departing 

In the severance of old ways 

With precision, in my silence 

I perceive the bitter still 

Imposition, these young calling 

Withered kisses, or the kill? 

Together we stand 

We stand so still 

Indifference, hollow laughter 

Bathes the walls of this lost home 

So futile, all attempts 

Affectations, long to roam 

Ever spinning, vile actress 

Answered blindly to the call 

The price, child yet again we sit 

And watch our private rome fall 

I am not well 

No, not well at all
