Abrasion Collar

what did you expect me to say
did you think this would end your way
like I'd ever let you leave
without a scar
did you really think that I would
convince myself that I should
make a wish upon your dying star

I have seen the light falling from the sky
and I will see the tears streaming from your eyes
and I will have no mercy
my god, I will have no mercy

in the darkness of the light
in the shelter of your frozen night
in the place that only we have been
in this all too human mask of "sin"
I never wanted to be more than what I asked of you
you knew it would end this way
in the darkness of the light
in the shelter of your frozen night
in the place that only we have been
in this all too human mask of "sin"
you read in between the lines that only you had seen
you knew it would end this way

don't waste the hours of this day
praying everything will stay
like you give anyone a reason to live
their consolation isn't true
you know half the blame falls on you
and you can take
but you won't give

I have seen the sun falling from the sky
and I will see the tears streaming from your eyes
and I will have no mercy
my god, I will have no mercy
