Truce - Dusk Lyrics

Spiraling downward
From pedestal to grave
Caught in a landslide
Buried beneath your waves
Hold it in and take the blame
Your sun has set on me
Bite my tongue
The blood runs hot against my cheek
Choking down daggers
To keep myself from sinking
Into the emptiness that consumes me
Taste regret, iron, and red
Mouth the words and I'll pretend they've gone unnoticed
Taste regret, iron, and red
Mouth the words and I'll pretend to be unaffected
This life in loathing stole everything from me
I'll brace myself for when it all turns black again
Eclipsed by you and silhouetted in your dying light
Separate petal from vine
And find comfort in infertile soil
For every shadow cast bleeds out in sync with the rest
Dilate and cast aside the red that shields your eyes
Expand and take shape in my chest
Your roots still constricting my spine
Holding whispers back against my best intentions
Even in my darkest hour
I never wished the worst for you
With all that separates me
I won't make it out of this life in loathing
I won't make it out alive
So hold it in and take the blame
Or let me choke if it's all the same
Your sun has set on me
