lyrics

One more coffee
And dislocated conversation for the road
You slip away
Suspicious of the ones who love you the most

Out on a limb, down to the wire
Your duel with fear has me down a liar
Hope is starved, your quest is blind
Everything else is left behind

It really doesn't matter anymore
To you, nothing really matters anymore

Black eyes set in white skin
Ocean deep, but I try to begin
Already failed as the ally you crave
Still less a remedy for your rage

No, nobody
Nobody here can understand your dreams
Your stare is fixed
As your world rips itself apart at the seams

I'm running out of slack, clutching at straws
At every turn I meet a closed door
We're left to pray it's not too late
Can you find the release before you suffocate?

It really doesn't matter anymore
To you, nothing really matters anymore

Black eyes set in white skin
Ocean deep, but I try to begin
Already failed as the ally you crave
Still less a remedy for your rage

It really doesn't matter anymore
To you, nothing really matters anymore

The iron will of a broken mind
Upon your soul slowly unfolds
Leading you to the void that lies
On the other side of the rainbow
