Lifeless Birth - Wildhunt

I can see the lifeless I feel the darkness under you I can see behind me I can try to hide it But without a will to see the truth I can feel the heartbeat Slowing into nothing Why don't I go When I know there's nothing I should want here? Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? As I stand behind you Lost in all the things that I would do Never really with you Quietly, halfway in the room Do you see behind you? (Do you see behind you?) Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should want here? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing you can see? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing for me here? (Soulful backing vocal melody) How I see you Now is all wrong With my hands full And its all wrong And I shouldn't have looked Cause now I can't look away And... Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should want here? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing you can see? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing for me here? (More backing melody singing) Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing for me here?

Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh I couldn't breathe as I watched you leave I thought we had something but I wanted more I played my cards but I pushed you too hard I feel like a shipwreck washed up on your shore Something's happening that I couldn't see I can't get my head around what you did to me You left me lifeless You left me cold as a stone You left me out on my own You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless You let me take it alone You left me down on my knees You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless I can't let go, it's body and soul I'm drowning in memories So, just throw me a line (throw me) I feel betrayed and my nerves are all frayed Like the last rose of summer as it dies on the vine (Ooh) something's happening, but I didn't know I can't turn the time back and it's starting to show You left me lifeless You left me cold as a stone (cold as a stone) You left me out on my own You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless You let me take it alone (take it alone) You left me down on my knees You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless I just can't believe a word they said I've got these voices in my head And they won't leave me alone (leave me alone) So, come on now, come in from the cold Don't leave me lifeless You left me lifeless You left me cold as a stone (cold as a stone) You left me out on my own You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless You let me take it alone (take it alone) You left me down on my knees You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless You left me cold as a stone (cold as a stone) You left me out on my own You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless You said to me, "Take it alone" (take it alone) You left me down on my knees You let me go (you let me) You left me lifeless

You, alone, hear my words To others, I remain unknown You'll give yourself to me Yourself to me In time Present, all-encompassing Your flesh and bone succumb Lifeless, deathless Your mind, shadow folded Shadow folded Lifeless, deathless Your flesh and bone succumb Your mind, shadow folded Shadow folded Lifeless Death Inner thoughts, subject to control Wants, needs, dissipating Not man nor god Reverie or parasite A shapeless shape My will, a tongue's caress Language beyond words My will, your ultimate truth Your powerlessness, eternal The light inside you will fade in time In time As you succumb Revealing a world of fulfillment and purpose Enslavement Enslavement A living shadow Living shadow To others, I remain unknown Inside you, I remain forever

Lifeless dead, that unclean bed Till or when her hunger's fed How he'd wished that they would wed "I promise on our love" she said Promises were never kept Alone on dirty floor he slept Yeah, Lifeless Dead And although he'd not accept She was gone and so he wept Then a demon came to him "You must know I'm gonna win" Yeah, Lifeless Dead He said, she said She led him dead He said we bled She said not fed Lifeless Dead, Lifeless Dead Lifeless Dead, Lifeless Dead...
