Love is a Black Widow - The Optimist

from Cabin Fire / Love Is a Black Widow split by Various Artists

lyrics

Fractured image
Evening drags on
Sun comes up
Another day lost
Searching for a solution
In a digital past
Can't find surer footing
Need a place to rest
Another fractured image
Again evening drags on
Another sun comes up
Again a day lost
The cycle will continue
Until we put it to an end
Old dead words
Rattle around inside our heads
The ache will continue
Until we put it to an end
Choking on memories
Better left untapped
I was hoping that I could help you heal
And you could help me heal
And tomorrow could be brighter
Tomorrow could be
Naale
Empty frame
Survive the day
Naale
Carve out a new hope
Find a way
Naale
Tomorrow
