Lyrics The Silhouette - Autumn Lies Empty

The Silhouette

Please don’t give me another reason not to sleep at night.
'Cause I don’t have the kind of time to try and keep you off my mind.
It seems like you’re always the last drop in the bottle;
a missing, blank-faced silhouette.
It’s all that I can do to quit.
I’ll carve your name into my skin.
I’ll carve your name into my skin, because it’s all that you have left to give.
I’ll take the life you left behind.
I can see that we’ve run out of time.
We’re just strangers that know each other very well.
I’ll never make it on my own, but I can’t stay inside this home now.
I’ll never get back what I’ve lost.
It’s all you have to give.
I see the lies under the skin,
but you will never take what I hold within.
Goodbye for the last time.
You cannot break my mind.
I’ll carve your name into my skin, because it’s all that you have left to give.
I’ll take the life you left behind.
I can see that we’ve run out of time.
Why is this home only filled with broken bones?
A graveyard for the life I left and the scars I’ve kept.
Give me a sign for my own sake, please.
Can you hear me or are you just sleeping?
Why is it so hard for me to close my eyes when I go to sleep?
