The shadow-double of my heart that beats almost in time Is moth-eaten and oft-forgot and barely even mine It holds the ghost of love once felt, the memory of touch The kisses once electric clanking in their coats of rust Between the hearts there lies a path walked only by a few I walk upon it sometimes, and now I walk with you The color's fading from your cheeks, I wonder if you know About the heart of no return with veins of catacombs I just can't see you in my catacombs (I just can't see, I just can't see) I don't know if you'd like it there (I don't know if you'd like it there) The way my empty gaze would slip right past you (Slip right past you) The way I'd be so sure to never stare (I'd be so sure to never stare) But my friend I think I've got it backwards (Backwards it got I've think I) I think I'm scared you'd be at peace (You'd be at peace) That you'd feel right at home among the cobwebs And that you'd say you never want to leave I know that you're probably doing fine And I know that it's okay that I'm not But it still hurts to see the cloud above my head That appears in every mirror, follows wherever I walk I feel the grass turn brown beneath my feet The constant bitter taste within my mouth The downcast eyes of everyone I meet The breaking glass, the brewing storm, the power going out I just can't see you in my catacombs (I just can't see, I just can't see) I don't know if you'd like it there (I don't know if you'd like it there) The way my empty gaze would slip right past you (Slip right past you) The way I'd be so sure to never stare (I'd be so sure to never stare) But my friend I think I've got it backwards (Backwards it got I've think I) I think I'm scared you'd be at peace (You'd be at peace) That you'd feel right at home among the cobwebs And that you'd say you never want to leave This is supposed to be my big facade My show of strength my wide, unbothered smile But I don't care much for that coup de grace If I'm feeling weak, I'll show it, and I've felt weak for a while And I can feel the strength as it floods in The static in my fingers as they warm The readiness to talk to you again But devoid of any layers of mist I saw you through before All I could do was all I could do Even when I thought only of you All I could feel was what wasn't right All I could say was hollow and trite All I could see was somewhat obscured By what I sought and what I ignored All I could hear was the sound of my voice All that I know is that I had no choice I just can't see you in my catacombs (I just can't see, I just can't see) I don't know if you'd like it there (I don't know if you'd like it there) The way my empty gaze would slip right past you (Slip right past you) The way I'd be so sure to never stare (I'd be so sure to never stare) But my friend I think I've got it backwards (Backwards it got I've think I) I think I'm scared you'd be at peace (You'd be at peace) That you'd feel right at home among the cobwebs And that you'd say you never want to leave
