lyrics

ELOQUENT ABYSS

Verse 1
They told me I could make it work

I wasn't ready for your heart to burst


The explosion of your lungs
The erosion of our love

They told me I could make you fantasise

And in effect resurrect the painted canvas I

Had splattered with my heart

Patterned with the stars

I'd fashioned it in glass


It was glowing 'till the winter came

Until the sun made way for the winds of change

I still pray for the simple days

Though you're to blame

I hope you're still the same



They told me love was gonna be a cinch
“As long as you talk
You never feel a pinch”
Since then every flame has made me feel a singe

Next time we hang out
Is if I'm being lynched



Because I'm drowning in our memories

Going to ground like a penalty

You’re making lovers of my enemies

I'm just trying to be a better me



I'm seeing double now I'm never sober

Two of you is like a four-leaf clover


And no good luck just good lies

I roll the dice

Snake eyes for my road signs



Refrain
In the mist
Eloquent abyss

I see you twist
Illicit assist

If we kissed
then I'd be your bliss

But since we missed

I guess I'm just a risk



Verse 2
They say commitment is a test of fate

So I search my own doubts and assassinate


Though I know you think you told me the truth

A real truth hunts down a lie 

And executes



And even though you're cute

Your talk didn't stand up

So I take aim and shoot

They say that's what a real man does 



And when the clouds cry
We let them storm 

And when the grounds dry
We know we're getting warm

I found life—I'm getting born

And when the birds fly 

We let them swarm



This is not the way to make a start

This is not the way to break a heart

This is not the way to make it last

If you're coming first 

I'll take the last



Refrain
In the mist
Eloquent abyss

I see you twist
Illicit assist

If we kissed
then I'd be your bliss

But since we missed

I guess I'm just a risk
