Lyrics Twelfth Stroke Of Midnight - Bury Your Dead

Twelfth Stroke Of Midnight

I can’t read between the lines
Of a letter
That you’ve never written
I can’t begin to compromise
On a problem
That you have invented
Dead stares cut a paper heart
And beats ink in these pages
Letters written in regret
To many lifeless faces
This is the end of me
I am running on empty
Hours spent pouring over these words
With nothing gained
All that was lost with nothing learned
I’m just feeling drained
This is taking so much out of me
I am doubting my place as of late
I wish I could make this
Paper heart come alive
All my time spent on
Writing this living lie
All my time spent on this lie
