The Death Rattle Lyrics by Our Time Down Here

Midnight Mass

2012

[ Verse 1 ]
You were like a siren song, drew him in and left him there for dead
A ship had hit an iceberg somewhere in your head
When you left that night, I didn't quite know what to expect
You whispered in his ears, you told me you said:
[ Chorus ]
"I'm not proud of what I am, but I thought you saw more in me
I've grown so low without you all I see is roots of trees
When we go out at night, you don't know how hard I try
Not to cut the stars from your eyes and return them to the sky."
[ Verse 2 ]
You just sat there on the bed, while he played you rеcords
Eyes as soulless as the act you seek
But you'll see all thеse things fall into their places
Who likes a girl who hates The Replacements?
[ Chorus ]
"I'm not proud of what I am, but I thought you saw more in me
I've grown so low without you all I see is roots of trees
When we go out at night, you don't know how hard I try
Not to cut the stars from your eyes and return them to the sky."
[ Outro ]
Don't waste your tears on me dear, it's you who'll rust
Now as quick as this started, it's gone in the dust
Don't waste your tears on me dear, it's you who'll rust
(I took it like I never took it before, the merging colours that I once adored,)
Now as quick as this started, it's gone in the dust
(Faded through my self loathing. Now I'm your finger nails, sat beside the sadness in your cuticles.)
Don't waste your tears on me dear, it's you who'll rust
(I took it like I never took it before, the merging colours that I once adored,)
Now as quick as this started, it's gone in the dust
(Faded through my self loathing. Now I'm your finger nails, sat beside the sadness in your cuticles.)
