Pale Horse - The Northern

Too many faces are drifting away

One after another, their eyes roll into their head

Leaving the skin a cold pale blue

Leaving your skin so cold and so pale blue

I know this hurts and feels like hell

Why won’t this go away

Please make it stay away

Just go away, go away

Watch out, I can tell you’ve been walking on shifting grounds

I can see you’ve been searching for help

Looking for it in all the wrong places

It’s not quite the right pill to swallow

If there could have been one more night

If the sun and moon said goodbye

A second chance, a single thread of hope

If I could of, would of, should of

But I didn’t

Waited for the sky to fall

Waited for the sky to fall

Watched you fall down

I know this hurts and it feels like hell

Why won’t this go away?

Please make it stay away

Just go away, go away—away

I want to believe

But something in your eye leads me

To believe

If you stay on this path

You’ll be six feet deep instead

I’ll hold you up

When you’re in doubt

It doesn’t have to be so bad

Life is so short it’s so damn short

But it’s the longest race we run

(I want to believe…)

Life fades into a memory

Watched you knock on death’s door almost every day

In and out of control

Watched you fade away

(Fade away, fade away)

It’s not right to take the blame in any way

But we didn’t help you in any case

What we’d do to see and hear you speak again

I feel my lungs give way from the earth above me

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t breathe

Waited for the sky to fall

Waited for the sky to fall

Waiting for the sky to fall

Kill everything that holds you

Death wears a blindfold

These scars will mend
