Catacombs Lyrics by Cold Cave

Cherish The Light Years

2011

[Verse 1]
I know I'm buried somewhere down there
In the catacombs of your mind
Dig deeper and you'll find
A haze of daisy chains and medicated pains
Good god, when acid rain floods your brain
From the dirt I will rise, I will rise

[Chorus]
The precessions ahead
The heart left behind
The future is fleeting
I'm out of time

[Verse 2]
Fine words of youth can bloom wrath upon infatuation
My purity is you
Jejune
The midnight city walks on wretched blocks
Sick of humiliation
I'm still on the prowl behind you

[Chorus]
The precessions ahead
The heart left behind
The future is fleeting
I'm out of time

[Verse 3]
Remember how you moved and
I never heard from you again
Sometimes I do pretend
You said that one day you'd come back for me
Oh, that is the only reason why I'm still a part
Of this dreadful scenery

[Chorus]
The precessions ahead
The heart left behind
The future is fleeting
I'm out of time

[Outro]
Your hair will return
To its natural color
You'll move to a new town
And off to another
