Erasure Video (MV)

Why did you sit so patiently as I etched my name across your back?
Another thing we'd done together, in another motion of the shard of broken glass
It seemed you were blindfold, peaceful and sightless, not knowing what I'd later do
To hurt you was the hardest thing, but not as hard as it was for you

There's nothing left to say, but still we talk, anything to keep you from slipping away
You say it's not me but I know that's not true; honesty was never a virtue we subscribed to
With the pretence of kindness I broke you down, piece by piece with words of apathy
Nothing will ever erase what happened, just don't go and leave me to ponder

You lie, motionless, in your eyes
I lie, motionless, my disguise
You lie, motionless, in your eyes
I lie, motionless, my disguise

You said to stop lying or just to stop hurting you, because both were too hard to fulfil in unity
The truth always stings when reality carries knives, the lies can blunt them but only for so long
Half-truths will soothe you with the blindfold of denial, but to make the knives disappear reality must be kind
Cruelty and kindness go hand in hand but apathy is the easiest path of them all

You lie, motionless, in your eyes
I lie, motionless, my disguise
You lie, motionless, in your eyes
I lie, motionless, my disguise
