Lyrics Perish - Holding Absence

Perish

It was your palms and your feet, and every single thing between
We were an easy thing to do — I enthused over you
But melancholia… Insomnia… Saudade — They had me
It’s hard to forget I’m looking back on a time, when every beat in your heart
was beating for mine
You had the world at your feet and you kicked it back at me
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn’t have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me
And when I’m better you can set me free
It’s safe to say that you were mine — A songbird to a morning sunrise
And how I miss my spotless mind, I lost it to the twilight
Much like our love, a songbird always flies without regret
And even after everything, we perished when the sun set
You had the world at your feet and you kicked it back at me
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn’t have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me
And when I’m better you can set me free
Every blind spot and every nicety, I learned about your heart…
I watched them perish before me
