i am // you are Lyrics

Back to black and fading it's been a long time

Chasing all the edges of your sins

Time comes back to haunt me and every choice is bound in blood

Every path another raindrop and we are drowning in the flood

Back to black remember we are captives

Every whisper cuts away from within

I cannot forget you and I cannot leave you here

While the silent cold that built me begs me to cut you down in fear

This tear is rough and reckless

It was made to leave a scar

And it's pulling at the remnants

Of who we were and what we are

I am

You are

I taste the sheen of metal

In the patterns of your breath

This vessel gives no answer

And the template resets

Don't mistake the dark for an ending

It's a pause between steps of a dance

Don't mistake your instinct for reason

Eternity lies in every chance

Don't try to slip away

I could be caught up in the fray

I could choose nothing next to you

I could get used to the abuse

Somewhere dark and somewhere warm

I am becoming the new norm

Unfurl my wings become the sun

You will be dead when I am done

Show me all your mirrors

(Another face the saving grace is buried in your chest where I left the blade)

With fragments of you within

(On the table up the stairs run my fingers through your hair)

The threads of me unravel

(I cannot hope to find what's left behind, another chance to hit rewind)

As I'm spiraling back in

(Every time i hide you hunt me down, you call me in you call me out)

This tear was made with purpose

Part of me inside of you

So many threads are tangled

I've forgotten which are true

I am

You are

A million branches ending

Finding pathways through dark

Every footstep brings us closer

But somehow still leaves us apart

Show me all your branches

Your canopies unfurled

Armor up for battle

It's us against the world

Don't mistake the choice for decision

It's a way to cope with the loss

Don't become the thing that they worship

You are so much more than a god

I am

You are

I am

You are
