These Former Things

from The Ether by mrmoth

/

lyrics

Who is this woman here?
This woman laid across my bed...
Her sex is exposed
And the will to live is dead
She says she's come
To fall me on my own sin
She's the strength
To all the weakness I've been

And here I am
Somewhere between violence and tears
Merely the sum
The product of some twenty six years
But there isn't room
For me and my self-pitiful soul
It's time for me
To pack it up and let it all go

So with a kiss
There's a clamor at the door
And with a kiss
My wings fallen to the floor
Lay here Lilith
I won't keep time long for you
There's a world
I'd like to say my goodbyes to

The furthest west I ever walked
These thick doors I always locked
These bright lights still left on
This short note that says I've gone
This former name, my former foe
This former self I no longer know
This rusty coil's redundant soul
These former things - I let them go

The furthest west I ever walked
These thick doors I always locked
These bright lights still left on
This short note that says I've gone
This former name, my former foe
This former self I no longer know
This rusty coil's redundant soul
These former things - I've all let go...
