lyrics

I slept to sounds of the perishing sighs
When hope loses breath and then finally dies
It feels like a secret that I have to tell
That I tried to put you right under my spell

So say that you love me, but it's not enough
Say that you love me, I yearn for your touch
My heart is breaking, and I come undone
Say that you love me, but it's not enough

I was yours right
You were not mine, no
I saw the signs torn in my heart
Everyone will say that we were in love
But we were sleeping
We were sleeping

The truth, it escapes me, I'm stuck in the dark
This feeling confounds me, and tears us apart
It feels like it came down from somewhere above
When everyone wants you, but nobody does

So say that you want me, but it's not enough
Say that you want me, I yearn for your touch
My heart is aching, and I come undone
Say that you want me, but it's not enough

I was yours right
You were not mine, no
I saw the signs torn in my heart
Everyone will say that we were in love
But we were sleeping
We were sleeping

While you slept, you were as light as a feather and stiff as a board
Felt strangled with fear, and you prayed to your lord
It wasn't enough

Say that you love me, but it's not enough
Say that you love me, I yearn for your touch
My heart is breaking, and I come undone
Say that you love me, but it's not enough

I was yours right
You were not mine, no
I saw the signs torn in my heart
Everyone will say that we were in love
But we were sleeping
We were sleeping

Among Other Things
by Riley-Roy

Good friend of mine that went to school with me and left to pursue musical interests. I had the pleasure of doing a remix for her. Very dark and personal music with a very unique voice. Tempustantrum

Fides // Fatum
by Allapartus

Some very good friends of mine from school that write post-hardcore music. Very talented dudes and very nice people as well. Definitely a band to keep an eye on since they're bound to get big soon. Tempustantrum
