Crestfallen / Valor Lyrics

Even then as you do now

You tempt the waves to your beckon call

Seeing her a lonely idol lost upon a shore

An artist weaves the play along the brush strokes

And the cacophony in your ears

Comes from these images you've conjured

To determine black and white from grey

With shaky hands and weary eyes

He approaches the height of the stairs

As he broke the horizon his gaze fell upon his dying dream

Drenched in failure he cannot avert his eyes

The eyes of a broken dream

The eyes of a fallen friend

Now all our eyes are drenched with sweat and tears

Born from a corpse of my former

Wrapped in sheets of silk

Saturated red & purple

As i carry it on my back

To a time you were safe

A familiar tone keeps you warm

Sacrifice flesh for a feed

Unruly teeth gnawing at me

No reason will heal it

Won't turn my heart to gold

I hesitated to give it back

I don the armor with a thousand cracks

The changes I know I had to make

Yet something kept me from

And I can't break these chains I have made

I've fought for the last time

I'm giving up on you

And all these threads

Anchored in my skin

Let the stage burn to the ground

Spotlight beams unveil ashes

Porcelain flesh cracking beneath shaking hands

Eyes no longer gifted the pleasure of soaking you in

Perhaps I can pretend you never left

Oh what a wonder to be your lover

Leaked out visuals of hope

You kept me warm under a tattered roof

Raindrops sang of your broken dreams

Tears remain on rosy cheeks

Wiping away the ones that wouldn't go

From the ruin at the bottom

To the top of the stairs

I gave it all

You gave it all

Then the summer & the autumn

Led to winter despair

I held you close

You kept me warm

All the heart we left behind

So easily buried in time

She dreamt of gentle swollen wings

To soar amongst the stars in black

She held the weight of all the world

It broke her back and left her there

All the heart we left behind

So easily buried in time

Forfeit all that was at cost

Peel back your skin to reveal

Nothing is worth the fight

A reminder of our potential

To reform & heal

From misunderstandings

& heartache projected

For all to see
