Underoath - Cries of the Past lyrics
[Underoath - Cries of the Past lyrics]
It happened all so fast, heavy with sleep
My eyes closed the next thing I remember was
Crawling out from the car
And seeing you lying there
Holding your head
Kissing you for the last time
The taste of blood on my lips
Your clothes torn apart, perfumed with gas
It seems like it was yesterday
When the rain poured down
I can still hear your screams as if
It was happening all over again
Saturday, December 4th: that night
Would become a
Grave that would crush my heart
Joy and laughter exchanged for
Grief and silence
Searching for so long to find you
And the moment I did, you were ripped from me
Laying here on this empty shelf
Never to be read again
In these pages lies every memory of you
The wind blew your heart over my eyes
And I slept for days praying not to awake
But these dreams can only last so long
Facing the day looking through these tears
I'll always look back and remember that
Night as you lay there
Looking over that casket, seeing your face
Times of past rushing by
Touching your cold hand
Wishing it would touch me back
You look so pretty lying there
Just like the first day we met
It feels so real like old
Times, but it's nothing, it's nothing
I can taste the stale air on my tongue
And death lights up the sky
Hope finds it'self it and it ends
Stopping at my thoughts
Pictures of you help bring back the tears
Walking in the present
But living in the past
How much longer will I embrace sorrow?
From the moment that you entered my life
My whole outlook on love would change
You brought out a happiness I
Didn't even know I had and now you've gone
Leaving without a goodbye
That glass heart that rested in my
Chest has fallen and shattered
Here on, Lord
Is the remains of a broken heart
For I have faith you can give
Me joy and life again
Death has fallen, but love covers me
Heaven is now home to my angel of love
My eyes closed the next thing I remember was
Crawling out from the car
And seeing you lying there
Holding your head
Kissing you for the last time
The taste of blood on my lips
Your clothes torn apart, perfumed with gas
It seems like it was yesterday
When the rain poured down
I can still hear your screams as if
It was happening all over again
Saturday, December 4th: that night
Would become a
Grave that would crush my heart
Joy and laughter exchanged for
Grief and silence
Searching for so long to find you
And the moment I did, you were ripped from me
Laying here on this empty shelf
Never to be read again
In these pages lies every memory of you
The wind blew your heart over my eyes
And I slept for days praying not to awake
But these dreams can only last so long
Facing the day looking through these tears
I'll always look back and remember that
Night as you lay there
Looking over that casket, seeing your face
Times of past rushing by
Touching your cold hand
Wishing it would touch me back
You look so pretty lying there
Just like the first day we met
It feels so real like old
Times, but it's nothing, it's nothing
I can taste the stale air on my tongue
And death lights up the sky
Hope finds it'self it and it ends
