lyrics

Time is a strict and subtle teacher as she sticks, as she drains you like a leech
Mama, I try not to forget that boy inside but he is fading out of reach
And he cries for what's become of the parts that are his sum, casting shadows in low light
I sleep without rest
I can't settle my sinking chest
I can't cast aside this guilt that binds at night
But it's just dead weight, just an anchor better left to sink once severed

Can't you feel me tugging at your sleeve?
Can't you feel me at all?
Can't you see me stumble at your feet?
Can't you see me at all?

The satellite drifts through empty space that holds no gift of forever - just its curse
When the winter sun sets, you will rest your weary head and forget that son that burned you first
Cause he's just dead weight, just an anchor better left to sink once severed

I speak through all the sinners as another, as a lesson lost
I speak through all the cheaters, the frauds, the liars, and still my desires hold
If I could, I would bleed myself dry on some stage just to know I'd leave a stain
If I could have my way, I would break your faith
For both our sakes, I cast you off
