Feint lyrics

The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished,

smothered by those who could not bear to face reality.

Every beat of your heart

tore the lies all apart,

made foundations quiver.

Every wave in the lake

caused the porcelain to break

and I shiver...

The leftover tallow just doesn't contain

all the right answers.

Under a sea of dust

lies a vast wealth of wisdom.

(An untouched snow turns red, innocence dies...)

Every beat of your heart

tore the lies all apart,

made foundations quiver.

Every wave in the lake

caused the porcelain to break

and I shiver...

This black page in history is not colourfast,

will stain the next.

All that remains is just a feint

of what was meant to be.

This black page in history is not colourfast,

will stain the next.

And nothing seems in life, in dreams,

like what was meant to be.

Every beat of your heart

tore the lies all apart,

made foundations quiver.

Every wave in the lake

caused the porcelain to break

and I shiver...

I shiver...
