The Black Dahlia Murder - The Middle Goes Down

The Middle Goes Down

Cold winter cuts, a heart that couldn't heal...
Destroyed by it's own stupidity.
A frozen smile, cracks backing frigid lies,
I shelter beneath a veil of happiness - a delicate facade.

(And) snow falls as to bury what we had...
Everything we left behind.

Although your loving eyes have left my gaze forever - they've been captured in my sleep;
Although this vacant heart can't go on any longer - I feel your soft breath in my dreams.

(But) it shall not be - I cannot shake these feelings,
I can't renounce - this love for you is all I know.

I am controlled by sorrow - my hope forever lost,
Bested by my weakness - will the spring's warmth never come?

And the snow still heaping on this broken back,
I am lost within its persistence.
You took the meaning from this withered soul,
I have no strength without your touch.

And so it was - and can never be again,

And so it was - and will never ever be again!

LOST! This love for you is all I know!
WEAKNESS! Will the spring's warmth never come?

Never come...

A little child crying from the bunk below...
I still love you, I won't cut that tie from my life.
Love born in regret? [?] our blight carved into stone?
The stone that lines my heart... I wish I never loved you.

Cold sweat and eaten nails - I did this all for you;
A broken heart, a clenched fist full of hair - I did this all for you.

And any other embrace will just turn into shit
In the shadow of our former love;
I'd trade a bloody wrist to live forever in those nights
But the deed hath still been done...

Hath still been done...

The deed hath still been done.
