The Dear Hunter - Melpomene lyrics

Cold had I calloused Walls were raised to bear the weight I'd not take Too slow were my senses Muted musings lost their way; disconnected Only silence remained, holding my breath in the dark Gasping for air with the lungs of a lark So warm was your welcome Humble in its embrace Tell me, just how did you save me? Pull me up from the grave? Though my youth did mislead, I would retreat to you Right back to your arms with my spirit aglow Where the pains of the past exit en ma**e through you Too lost when we part, with the lungs of a lark I (Far removed from myself) Had denied what I lost when my heart had withdrawn to the fray (In a whimsical way) I would flee from a truth I could bury in youth You (You would have me) You would have me if I'd fallen again Would you bring me back out of the dark With my lungs of a lark Cold have I calloused But these walls are coming down
