The Gloom In The Corner
(ii) Body of Glass
[Intro]
Set me free!
[Verse 1]
"Close your eyes
You don't want to see this"
Let the wave wash over you
Stop struggling with deaths interlude
As I fade suspended in the air
I lost my step while grasping for air
Oh please, I don't want to lose him
I don't want to lose him
[Breakdown]
Breathless, I leave this world
With so much more to offer
Take my breath away
The noose pulls tight, the air draws thin
All his love, crushed within
Set me free!
Set me free
[Chorus]
Lower my body into the ground of ash
Where the gloom is unending, but my end is black
Where all the love slowly dies
Where the night is cold with no sunrise
[Verse 2]
In a moment of silence
I watch his life unfold
Bringing the world to its knees
While his heart grows cold
All he's surrounded by is fear and fucking dead men
[Breakdown]
The noose pulls tight...
CHOKE
"I can see you're suffering"
I whisper from beyond divides
But you can find comfort in me
Not that you can fucking hear me
[Chorus]
Lower my body into the ground of ash
Where the gloom is unending, but my end is black
Where all the love slowly dies
Where the night is cold with no sunrise
[Bridge]
I was weightless
But the noose stayed strong
Gravity pulled me down
To where I belong
Maybe it's better off being this way
Your only daughter sent to the grave
Death grips tight, around my neck
Unable to breathe, I take my final stance
The last thing I see is your face
Eyes filled with tears, my saving grace
[Breakdown / Bridge]
(My saving grace)
[Rachel] It's time to stop blaming yourself
[Jay] I don't want you to leave I can't do this without you
[Rachel] But you must go on, live life, and let the memories fade."
[Rachel] “It would be so simple to slip away
But you must go on, live life, and let the memories fade."
[Jay] I didn't have the chance to say what I wanted to say
I don't want to take these words to my fucking grave
[Rachel] (Let me go)
[Jay] All I feel is nothing, all I feel is emptiness inside
Weightless but you're not rising up
The noose pulled you down
But I couldn't save you
Because I am the man in black
I am the man in black
[Outro]
Honestly, I can't breathe
Pull me close, don't let go
Honestly, I can't breathe
Pull me close, don't let go
