this, too, will pass. Songtext
von Lavina

Under covers of velvet, you gave your heart and soul
Flesh and bone
Away
Didn′t covet possessions, in return
You just wanted compassion
When all I could give was pain

When you hold me close and say you're there for me
Selflessly
I feel all the more alone
In my mind there′s still so much that I would say
But the words are trapped until again I'm
On my own

Used to let out a song
Drive streams to a halt
Bend branches and stone
Now the well has dried up
And even as you clutch my hands to keep me warm
It's still cold I′m reaching for


After all you′ve said and done
There seems to be a piece that's broken
A flaw to overcome
A burst of anger left unspoken

When you hold me close and say you′re there for me
Selflessly
I feel all the more alone
In my mind there's still so much that I would say
But the words are trapped until again I′m
On my own

You lay beside me, unwinding
Bleeding your affection within and without
I sit in silence, until the blade grows dull
Let me remain inside my self-constructed purgatory
Watching as you drift away from me

Will you hold me close and say you're there for me?
Will you hold me close and say you′re there for me
Endlessly
Even if I don't respond
In my mind there's still so much that I would say
But before I come around you will be
Gone
