Lyrics The Graves We've Dug - Harakiri for the Sky

The Graves We've Dug

It happened in December
In the days when things get sad for no reason
Strangers share a drink called loneliness
And this city turns into the coldest place
Then I keep you in mind from time to time
I resist to scream your name out loud
I’m sorry I gave you everything I had
Without making sure you ever desired it
People get tired of being sad, being pushed aside
And then they leave
Even though they promised they would not
And it’s not as if I did not try
But somewhere between being who you needed
And being who I should become
I became a stranger to us both
Teach your heart how to cherish the people around you
Before they depart
You know they surely will
If not by a choice, death steals them away
And you’ll have the remains of your life
To dwell in regrets
'Cause the gallows won’t disappear
And for sure the graves won’t fill
And for sure the graves won’t fill
This is the death of our youths
The requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn’t even ask for happiness, just a little less pain
Now we sing and drink besides the graves we’ve dug
Perhaps one day we will meet again
Two stars colliding for another time
Recognizing the pieces of ourselves
We left behind in each other’s heart
So search for me in the pitch black night
When the stars hide behind the clouds
And my heart longs for you
Whatever you do, search for me
Steal my heart in autumn
Where I fall in love by time
We roam the fields together
Counting stars and fighting sleep
No, I’m not feeling better yet
It seems I just got used to the words
'Cause the gallows won’t disappear
And for sure the graves won’t ever fill
This was the death of our youths
This was the requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn’t even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain
This is where we sing and drink besides the graves we’ve dug
Besides the graves we’ve dug
