Torn Away

from Tearing at the Seams by The Hobby

lyrics

Wrapping up this blackened gift with a bow of uncertainty
Leave it in the pews in the church of the free
The rocks that I trusted have now become the rats and snakes
As I wind my way back up to the mouth of the cave

Notes left from another life, finding their way through
All the trees, and their splintered branches, make a path back to you
And when the ships have sailed out, and define what this is all about
Bury me in the blades, and all their dandruff-adorned ways

When the leaves are frozen in the ground, and there's nothing left to save me now
Let's run away into the sunken-clouded sunset
Together we'll be free from all the pain that's left to give me shame
Let's run away, yet always look back, and witness the heart attack

Pull me out of the auto-wreck, with tangled vines and broken stems
Of daisies that are always pushed, and slapped across the face
Throughout my youth, it seems I'm never free
As much as I can hope to believe, to believe

You knew you would be all alone, right from the start

When the leaves are frozen in the ground, and there's nothing left to save me now
Let's run away into the sunken-clouded sunset
Together we'll be free from all the pain that's left to give me fame
Let's run away, yet always look back, and witness the heart attack

My words, they come in gasps of air through tightly-sealed lips
Aboard a weakened soul and beaten bones, escaping Death's cold kiss
See the broken sidewalk leads away, to the dawn of another day
With no horizon and a faded past

It makes me see that I've been torn away.
