But the blackness in your heart.. Cannot last forever

Saw City and Colour last night at the El Ray. This is a new song on the upcoming album Little Hell.



Oh sister

What's wrong with your mind?

You used to be so strong and stable

My sister

What made you fall from grace?

I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you



What have the demons done?

What have the demons done?

With the luminous light once shined from your eyes

What makes you feel so alone

Was it the whispering ghosts

That you feared the most

But the blackness in your heart

Cannot last forever

I know its tearing you apart

But it's a storm you can weather



Oh sister

Those lines etched in your hands

They're hardened and rough like road map of sorrow

And my sister

They're is a sadness on your face

You're like a motherless child that's longing for comfort

Whats running through your veins

That's causing all this pain?

Does it have something to do with the pills they gave you?

What is eating at your soul?

Is it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold?



But the blackness in your heart

Will not last forever

I know its tearing you apart

But it's a storm you can weather



Oh sister

My sister


--S. Loveless
