Swan Songs: Split with Burning Bright

Faust 03:27
When I see your face, you are two things of late The graze and the gauze for the sake of me eating myself away For all that I miss, you can keep this My soul is bleached, just a blank canvas When you've had enough, what's the basis for luck He said throw your weight into it, but I don't weigh that much Arms wide open, I'm coiled in you, the deathbed cries of (oh my love) Won't look back in fear Feel like I've been here before, when life becomes a blur I paint a picture with words and cut my throat open with verbs It chokes my throat and all I hold My will breaks and begins to fold When you've had enough, what's the basis for luck He said throw your weight into it, but I don't weigh that much See I'm the closest to you, and I've never felt so apart Riddled in cancer, is my hand-me-down heart These arms wide open (oh love) I'm coiled in you (oh love) The deathbed cries (oh love) Tonight stay true Arms wide open, I'm coiled in you, the deathbed cries of (oh my love) Won't look back in fear

Old Guard 03:30
We marched on, we march on You plead with me to follow when you know that I can't I just needed peace to understand my heart To see what was in me, to see your solemn face Heard your solemn stories in a solemn place And I keep pushing to see Just to test what's inside of me And I keep driving to see Just to test all that can be in me But I changed my request when I saw your hips shake When I felt your heart rupture through every mistake I know I've become your favourite ghost No longer on these waves of lost hope Don't give up An ocean of loss takes me once in awhile And I drown in the failure so I just sink and smile But I hope you're okay, I hope you're in love Made peace with this life because this world is not enough Though this bed is your own, I die in it most nights Please open your jaws to lungs with no fight This struggle wants my life, it's like it's life has become mine Stop begging to have me on your lifeline You plead with me to follow when you know that I can't I just needed peace to understand my heart To see what was in me, to see your solemn face Heard your solemn stories in a solemn place But I changed my request when I saw your hips shake When I felt your heart rupture through every mistake I know I've become your favourite ghost No longer on these waves of lost hope
