Lyrics

Gargoyle

[Chorus]

I see you every once in a while

Forget where I was standing stood

Eyes glazed with apprehension

Could it ever have been that good

[Verse 1]

The virgin's escaping

Will is fading

Another couple locks ones attention

How did I believe this fool

Non-stop degradation waiting until

Nothing can ever be the same

[Verse 2]

The virgin's escaping

Will is fading

Everyone tries their hand at love

It's just up to hope that all in amour

Everyone in which you've found

Best known by its [?] Cure

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Will is fading
