Lyrics: 
Stood in your last breath, couldn’t believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton, faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret, you were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear coulda made me cry
…
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves,
ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
…
Gotta stay strong for the little one, who found you in your room
Gotta strong for our mumma who, would take the blame however true
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night
When we nearly couldn’t choose
I broke down outside the room
…
I’m praying you survive
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves,
ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
…
Except for the ends of you, where’s that little girl I knew

lyrics:
To the stretches of our bed, where we once shared threads
Well those days are dead.
Why we cursing at this bloom, as our love escapes the room?
There’s no use in trying to fool, there’s no use
I miss the snow on my skin, I miss feeling pure, miss feeling a thing.
I miss feeling young.
And as her body slipped away, baby I bled dry
Tore a hole right through me
The well became empty and I sat inside
Holding the space where you used to lay by my side
Wrote down the things I had to say
Put them in a letter, that was the best I could think to do
“Here I am”, you said, ‘And here I go...”
Goodbye forever...
Restless angel, I made a mess of you. I know, I know.
And I could never take back my harm, no.
I saw the lights go out.
Paid such a heavy price.
Baby I’m sick treading lines.
I ain’t coming back to you, I won’t give it back, no
I’m so far from my innocence I have forgotten it’s taste
I’d drag on you but why bother, your very essence fogs this lonely place.
Baby, you’re draped over the only light that could fill this room
Beautiful in your way,
but drowning the rest, to doom.
