No Wings To Speak Of

The End Of An Era

Upon Beauty Rests - Lines Full Of Lies And A Thousand Roses

A song with lyrics originally from "Still Breathing" by Stars Hide Fire on the album A Shortcut to Loss.

Lyrics:
Today (These days)
I′m shattered (I'm better)
I feel as if I don′t matter much (I don't want to feel)
Is this the end of me?
And I've got (I have)
This letter (Forever)
Unread, I′m glad I never sent it, but (This is all of me)
You know I′d rather write than speak
It's hard explaining when you′re wrong
It's hard forgiving when you′re strong
As I burn out and rot...
As I burn out and rot...
This fire's burning down these walls
This world′s not meant for you, and...
I'm still breathing
My lung's bleeding
I′m leaving now
Do we always have to end like this?
I′m still breathing
Air through collapsed lungs
Through collapsed lungs
Today (today)
I'm stronger (I'm bitter)
Knowing that I don't belong to her (I just want to feel)
Took you to give me strength
And I use (I have)
Four letters (forever)
To form words that help me to forget her (for you to find me)
You know I only curse when I'm weak
As I burn out and rot...
As I burn out and rot...
This fire's burning down these walls
This world′s not meant for you, and...
I'm still breathing
My lung's bleeding
I′m leaving now
Do we always have to end like this?
I′m still breathing
Air through collapsed lungs
Through collapsed lungs
As time runs out
(As time runs out)
As I burn out and rot
(As I burn out and rot)
As I burn out and rot
(As I burn out and rot)
As I burn out and rot, as I burn out
I'm still breathing
My lung′s bleeding
I'm leaving now
Do we always have to end like this?
And I′m still breathing without you
And I'm still bleeding without you
I′m still breathing
Air through collapsed lungs
(Through collapsed lungs)
Cause I'm still breathing
And I'm still breathing without you
Cause I′m still breathing
...and I′m still yours...
