Open Wrists Songtext
von System Syn

I can′t say it better to you than I did to myself
On that long road of running away
All the things in the past you don't try to grasp
You′re just happy that it's a new day

And we shared this, the twilight, the distance, the hindsight
Quiet as if we were prey
But I knew all along from the start of the song
You'd play this as I was walking away

Let it never be said that I left here alone
Or that I was better than others you′ve known
We showed up to carve these wrists to the bone
The bleed out, the twilight, the end of the poem


There′s a word we all know, I may have used it a lot
When I talked of myself, but now it seems you forgot
But don't lose any sleep, what is gone won′t come back
Let it live in my eyes 'til my vision goes black

Still we shared this, the twilight, the distance, the hindsight
And none of it helped us to stay
But you knew all along from the start of the song
That I′d hurt you, and then walk away

Let it never be said that I left here alone
Or that I was better than others you've known
We showed up to carve these wrists to the bone
The bleed out, the twilight, the end of the poem

So now it′s up to you
You know I could wait a lifetime
Since I'm defined by my restraint
Now you don't have to ask


Let it never be said that I left here alone
Or that I was better than others you′ve known
We showed up to carve these wrists to the bone
The bleed out, the twilight, the end of the poem
