about

"Sober" is taken from Avarice's Fall's second EP "Vacancy"

lyrics

To the tide I became washed away
Ache in the pain, bathed in the rain
I'm afraid of everything within me
But I'm a ghost, you already knew me

There’s no integrity in justifying doubt
Living in the selflessness of giving up your house
I opened my soul and let you take rest here
With arms made of stone, I won’t be living in a few years

See I'm as sober as an alcoholic can be
Does it define me? This loneliness loves me

Over deliberating, so sick of hesitating
No longer viable, restless soul, unreliable

Make way for the shallow heart, when your apartment bed is full
Make a motel out of me, as vacant as I am, you'll uncover the walls
Show the wounds to the public, let the poetry become the mess in me
Our love is just stupid game of skin stretching til it snaps and bleeds

The words, the words, “Love me” are stitched into my lungs
My bones still yearn for you, they’ve grown tired of restless tongues
A kid who wishes his coffin to stay shut for you
Will you believe, will you believe that I’ll see this through?

I'll just sink into the flames, become the kids with no names

See I'm as sober as an alcoholic can be
Does it define me? This loneliness loves me

Over deliberating, so sick of hesitating
No longer viable, restless soul, unreliable

The bleakness haunts, a derelict, grey mind
A fog which covers the eyes, only ever half alive

The walls of this room become the friends I've lost
So close to heart, but so far apart
