Twelfth Stroke of Midnight Songtext
von Bury Your Dead

I can′t read between the lines
Of a letter
That you've never written
I can′t begin to compromise
On a problem
That you have invented


Dead stares cut a paper heart
And beats ink in these pages
Letters written in regret
To many lifeless faces
This is the end of me
I am running on empty

Hours spent pouring over these words
With nothing gained
All that was lost with nothing learned
I'm just feeling drained

This is taking so much out of me
I am doubting my place as of late

I wish I could make this
Paper heart come alive
All my time spent on
Writing this living lie
All my time spent on this lie
