The Dear Hunter - Melpomene lyrics

Cold had I calloused
Walls were raised to bear the
Weight I'd not take too slow were my senses
Muted musings lost their way disconnected
Only silence remained
Holding my breath in the dark
Gasping for air with the lungs of a lark

So warm was your welcome
Humble in it's embrace
Tell me, just how did you save me
Pull me up from the grave?
Though my youth did mislead
I would retreat to you
Right back to your arms with my spirit aglow
Where the pains of the past
Exit en masse through you
Too lost when we part
With the lungs of a lark

I, far removed from myself
Had denied what I lost when my
Heart had withdrawn to the fray
In a whimsical way
I would flee from the truth
I could bury in youth
You would have me, if I'd fallen again
Would you bring me back out of the dark
With my lungs of a lark?

Cold have I calloused
But these walls are coming down
