lyrics

you stole my name
on the streets where i was raised
now every day is the same
my tongue is black and my eyes are grey

you gave me my new name
then took it back the very next day
i lost my stake and i lost my claim
and soon i lost my way

i'm lost in you
no lights, no borders, no way out
i'm lost to you
you loved me at first, but you're alright now

you couldn't believe how easy it came
you said you would never forget
i thought it was life but it was just a game
now you act like we've never met

the doctor gave me pills for the pain
but i can still feel the blood on my neck
my friends, they swear that it won't leave a stain
but the stain has already set

i'm lost in you
no lights, no borders, no way out
i'm lost to you
you loved me at first, but you're alright now

you can't feel me anymore
i'm thinner than the twilight shadows
you can't hear me anymore
my whisper breath is far too shallow
i can't reach you anymore
my chest is heavy, my feet are hollow
i never dream anymore
today is today is tomorrow

you couldn't believe how easy it came
you promised you wouldn't forget
my friends say the blood won't leave a stain
but the stain is long since set

i'm lost in you
no lights, no borders, no way out
i'm lost to you
you loved me at first, but you're alright now
