Sanction Lyrics by Katatonia

The Fall of Hearts

2016

[Verse 1]
Bring on salvation, I have a way to find mine
I swallow light
And what if I move, lapsing into failure
In the lowering night, in the lowering night

I had waited for you
Though I was certain
You wouldn't come back, no

Into the after hours

[Chorus]
Smudged my heart for all to see
But it's so quiet now
Makes it harder to shine
Had a dream about tomorrow
But with nothing more to think about
I fade out

[Verse 2]
Bring on sedation, I have waited a long time
And dragged myself a long way
There's a flight to Medellín, twelve hours of drinking gin
Awakened by summer

[Bridge]
Sever the ties
That were once unyielding
Packed my money
Under night's neon curtain

[Chorus]
Smudged my heart for all to see
But it's so quiet now
Makes it harder to shine
Had a dream about tomorrow
But with nothing more to think about
I fade out
