lyrics

I embarrass myself in front of family and friends on holiday and they ask themselves, "Why does he come?" What to reject of the mess? Was it the scent on my breath from yesterday when I considered myself so delicate? So delicate.

Here comes dusk with a whisper from behind,
Stay indoors, don't make the lengthy drive.
Soul mate lies to soul mate tonight.
See me leave when the shadows are turning bright.

I will break the screen and deny what I see if you let me in. I will take take take your Christmas. When I have cleaned my plate I will choose to escape my own mistakes and I will leave my debt to delegate.

For all the pain and all the rage and all the truth,
The surface: cool.
But underneath in boiling heat, the sweat, the steam had no release.
It was a Christmas song.
That's the nature of the bomb.
That night it went off.

Here comes dusk with a whisper from behind,
Stay indoors, don't make the lengthy drive.
Soul mate lies to soul mate tonight.
See me leave against my will.
I am blind.
