lyrics

When I was younger I'd wish I could take this space, and place it between us.
I'd lay awake, dreaming of your unmarked, and unloved grave.
and I have tried, sometimes in vain, to be so unlike you.
an I have tried to remove the stains from this name.

You have left me a hollow and broken man,
but I'll rebuild
You have left me in this wasted space but I'll find a way

I wanted to occupy
the dark places in your head.
I wanted to terrify
the very core of you
I wanted you to feel this way

I used to believe that I'd sink your every ship
I used to believe your loved ones would drown
I used to say I'd flood it all. Flood it all.

~These are actually a version of the very first Book of Caverns lyrics ever written. When I found them in my notebook I was taken back a bit by the amount of vitriol behind them. The first EP had a lot of anger on it and I felt like reworking this song was a good way to help put that behind me and move on. It's still almost embarrassingly angry and melodramatic, but acts as a good bridge between that era of the band and the new era of the band moving forward.
