Counterpane - The Birthday Massacre

Strange changes come with age

Some things disappear in a day

And some things slowly fade

And you and I are like the ink staining all the other pages

We’re at the edge of the World again

A step back is a step forward

Been here before when we were innocent

I saw the signs, but I couldn’t find the words

Now we’re stuck in a wasteland

Everyone in the dark adores you

So much regret for things I never said

I should’ve left, I always meant to

Shame, there’s nobody to blame

People interlace by mistake sometimes

It hurts to walk away

But we’re just cheap toys perpetually breaking

We’re at the edge of the World again

A step back is a step forward

Been here before when we were innocent

I saw the signs, but I couldn’t find the words

Now we’re stuck in a wasteland

Everyone in the dark adores you

So much regret for things I never said

I should’ve left, I always meant to

We’re at the edge of the World again

Time will never heal the distance

Been here before when we were innocent

Building this modern prison for so long, so long

We’re at the edge of the World again

A step back is a step forward

Been here before when we were innocent

I saw the signs, but I couldn’t find the words

Now we’re stuck in a wasteland

Everyone in the dark adores you

So much regret for things I never said

I should’ve left, I always meant to
