Southpaw Video (MV)

I can't sleep
Through the darkness of the keep
And the angel on my shoulder is much more older
Than the demons in my head
Oh, I'm better off dead with how these nights have been carrying on

This castle's a ruin
This hallway's a void
These walls are closing in and I don't have a choice
They said they'd be here
They said I'd be fine
But shadows hush whispers and I can't remember their names

The nightfall brings desire
It kills the sunrise fire
Along with all the things I'd never leave behind
These words are hard to say
Placate the water back to grey
This paper can't carry the weight of my reasons why

And for once in my life I would like to know
What these walls could say
But they lied and I tried
To comprehend how this all would end,
And for once I'm scared I can't enshrine

I finally came home unto an empty bed
And I have barely slept with all these demons in my head
The shadows kept me warm.
They crawled under the sheets.
They came with open arms while you sat and you watched me bleed

The nightfall brings desire
It kills the sunrise fire
Along with all the things I'd never leave behind
These words are hard to say
Placate the water back to grey
This paper can't carry the weight of my reasons why

I've been dying to hear your voice
I've been dying to see your face
I've been dying to taste your smoke
But all I ever do is choke

I've been dying to taste your kiss
I've been dying to move on from this
I've been dying to touch your lips
I've been dying

I have lived in sin
The last match is burning
And while my lungs fill with smoke
Take a drag just to smoke out the pain
Breathe it out into my lungs to make me feel the same
Oh God what I would give for just one cigarette now

Ill at ease, white sunrise
Southpaw sleeps with longing
And what it takes to choke
You've blackened my eyes
You've blackened my lungs
You've left me with so many words unsung
Oh God what I would give for just one cigarette now
