City State - Requiem

Текст песни

I felt the rush of love in my bones
But when your demons lashed out, it wasn’t enough
After all, I couldn’t hold you up and I woke up alone
I should’ve seen this coming
You were a shadow of the one that I loved
But I couldn’t let go
I covered my eyes with the thought you would be fine
And when the sickness spread
It was free to take what was left
Take what was left that night
All of this to feel alive for one last time
I should’ve known, I should’ve seen it all along
Shadows creep under my eyelids
I don’t think the night’s ever been quite this cold
What will it take to escape my thoughts?
I thought I knew you, I thought I could see through you
I don’t think the night’s ever been quite this long
I’m shutting down, consumed by the signs that I should’ve seen
I always hoped when you fell away
You’d take me too
'Cause I’m lost now, stuck in place
I can’t let go of you, let go of you
Time goes by, bleeds into the next life
All of this just to feel alive
For one last time, another meaningless high
All of this just to feel alive
I’m a stranger in my own home
Desperately searching for what went wrong
I’m already too far gone to find solace in your loss
I always hoped when you fell away
You’d take me too
'Cause I’m lost now, stuck in place
I can’t let go of you, let go of you
Time goes by, bleeds into the next life
All of this just to feel alive
For one last time, another meaningless high
All of this just to feel alive
