Banshee

Oceans dark as night Lap at shores of stardust And beaches of light Knife in the back, razor to the cuff One more chance to call my bluff But I know you won't I know this story well, you're just pretending Let's skip the start and cut right to the ending Where we both know that there's no gold At the end of the rainbow I watch her skin turn white and pale Like she's in a fairy tale I see her ghost and I hear her wail That she poisoned her own well I still see her silhouette Sitting at the edge of my bed Wondering what more I could have done To get those thoughts out of her head I still see her silhouette (silhouette) Sitting at the edge of my bed (of my bed) Wondering what more I could have done To save her from herself in the end We all find the same escape in the end We close our eyes and just drift in Oceans dark as night Lap at shores of stardust And beaches of light Light Slow (slow) Mercy (mercy) Like a moth to a flame You burn yourself again Don't you get it My faults are just the same And I know that you're intent on running away Can't shake this sorrow It always hangs on even when I let go And now you've given up trying to play the hero 'Cus every corner that you turn, your score resets to zero Will you bend or break, every fibre in your body's so brittle Cut me out of your chest, leaving nothing in the middle I still see your silhouette At the edge of my bed Nothing more I could have done To save her in the end I still see her silhouette (silhouette) Sitting at the edge of my bed (of my bed) Wondering what more I could have done To get those thoughts out of her head I still see her silhouette (silhouette) Sitting at the edge of my bed (of me bed) Wondering what more I could have done To save her from herself in the end (in the end) And I know this story well, you're just pretending Let's skip the start and cut it right to the ending Where we both know that there's no gold At the end of the rainbow
