about

The second single off of No Light Escapes' sophomore album, "The Purity of Grief"

lyrics

Fight it off
This empty shell grows in me
Rewind the past
Stay this jagged apathy

Honesty
Wilting in your gaze
Far from safe
My quarrel in the owl's den

Burning pictures
Of this contradiction
Arrange the scars
Now sealed in their broken form

Together in total malice

In your eyes
I am lost
Nothing has changed
Since you left again

I've drowned in it before
The insatiable thirst of doubt
I restore the pain
And carry this weight alone

It pains me
It kills me to know

The silence cutting
Deep through the air
It pains me to know that
I'm just not there
Your contempt starving me of a choice
It kills me to know that I'm just not there

Crash, burn
I lost heart
Live, die
In your black and white world

You don't know me
Shadow my soul

Now I speak of
Those days we shared
And the pain it left
Caught in your snare
I grew to be a harder man
To make my own choice to survive
So now I imprison you

In my heart
I seal you
Time will bury you
And heal your memory
