The Ground Folds
Senses Fail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a starlit and moon-struck night.
The ground did fold and eat us both
But all my love, I did devote.
Beneath the rafters the angels sing
Spinning violence and playing with my heart.
To live inside of me, I'm dying inside you. [x2]
Lost inside another crash
The bones I had, turned into ash.
The world did cry, the night you died
And I am no good at suicide.
Beneath the rafters the angels sing
Spinning violence and playing with my heart.
The song I wrote, it was for you.
To live inside of me, I'm dying inside you. [x2]
But I lost what was mine, and I want what was mine. [x2]
My heart now it always breaks, the blood did drip and I take, another wish, another kiss, no more will for me to kill.
We'd run away in our dismay, but please, come back to me.
Just throw it back, for one more night
On a starlit and moon-struck night.
The ground did fold and eat us both
But all my love, I did devote.
The song I wrote, it was for you.
TTTTTTo live inside of me, I'm dying inside you. [x2]
