V5.5

[Intro – Distant Church Organ / Whispered Male Vocal] There you are again… Behind my eyes. Where you cannot love me… But you never leave. [Verse 1 – Low, Restrained Male Vocal / Cello] I keep your shadow in my room Like something sacred in a tomb I speak your name beneath my breath Feel it moving through my chest You found the places no one knew The broken rooms I wandered through But every road that leads to you Ends at a door I can’t walk through [Pre-Chorus – Organ Rising / Guitar Building] So I close my eyes… And there you stay… The only heaven I can’t escape [Chorus – Heavy / Mournful / Soaring] You will never be mine Still my heart belongs to you I’ll carry this hunger Like the damned are born to do And if loving you destroys me Let the darkness take what’s left Some men die without a heartbeat I’ll die loving what I can’t possess [Verse 2 – Darker / Whispered Harmonies] I see your face inside the flame Every stranger wears your name Another night, another lie That someday I’ll say goodbye But I would rather haunt these halls Than learn to feel nothing at all Because losing you would mean Losing the last good thing in me [Pre-Chorus – Cello Swells / Distorted Guitar Enters] So I close my eyes… And there you stay… The only heaven I can’t escape [Chorus – Bigger / Heavier] You will never be mine Still my heart belongs to you I’ll carry this hunger Like the damned are born to do And if loving you destroys me Let the darkness take what’s left Some men die without a heartbeat I’ll die loving what I can’t possess [Bridge – Nearly Spoken / Organ + Solo Cello] You don’t owe me your heart. You don’t owe me your touch. God knows… I understand. But understanding… Doesn’t make it hurt less. [Break – Whispered Voices / No Drums] Let her go… I can’t. Let her go… I tried. Let her go… [Silence] I can’t. [Final Chorus – MASSIVE / Desperate / Ritual Drums] You will never be mine Still my soul reaches for you Every prayer becomes your name Every nightmare leads me through And if loving you destroys me Let the darkness have what’s left Some men die and are forgotten I’ll remember you to death You will never be mine… But I’ll carry you inside Every scar, every shadow Every place you left behind And if loving you destroys me Let the darkness take my breath Some men die and are forgotten… I’ll remember you… To death. [Outro – Solo Church Organ / Almost Whispered] There you are again… Behind my eyes. Always close enough to haunt me… Never close enough… To be mine.
