lyrics

And how I began with heart so full
And how I ignored portent restored
And how I regret the time not loving you

So easily I gave of me imagining the view
A picturesque admiring a want to be my hero
Who found herself submerged in dark
And blinded by the light of dread

The first time I fell through the hungry abyss
Believing it was meant to be seen only through my eyes
Foolishly transforming me
A race that I could never win

Hope you let drag on too long
Deny even knowing you’re wrong
Love that can poison a piece of your heart
A numbness that you rely on

Keep up all pretense of closure
Repaint the mask every time
Mistakes from lessons you chose not to learn
Notes from your epitaph rewind

He introduced me to many waves that kept us closely tied
Frustration rose our divergent trails
Grew disappointment I crumbled
Callously turned away a stubbornness retained from him

She was always there supporting me each juncture that I took
So selfishly misunderstood her breathless desire
Cowardly experienced a loss that broke me
To the core

Hope you let drag on too long
Deny even knowing you’re wrong
Love that can pierce a piece of your heart
A numbness that you rely on

And how I began with heart so full
And how I ignored portent restored
And how I regret the time not loving

This husband/wife team makes that paradox possible on their 2017 release, Sympathetic Overdrive.
