Closed Circuits - Demons Lyrics

Did you hide then my sad-eyed lover
Did you long for another way
Were my hands no longer gentle
Against all I could not keep at bay

Could the nights provide no more shelter
Against demons that came in the day
With their tongues all glistening silver
To carry your thoughts away

Oh don't you miss your sorrow
Oh won't you bear this weight
Oh come give up your longing
And leave your heart to break

And you confessed to me all your intentions
Without finery and without grace
Standing naked and cold in the bathroom
As your reflection started to fade

And the light fell through the lace curtains
And lit up your tear-stained cheeks
As you tied my arms tightly around you
And promised me you'd never leave

And you carried my wounds
And you carried my scars
And you carried my love away
