Well I consider myself much more of a musician than a lyricist. I really enjoy writing lyrics, but to be honest I think they pale in comparison to the music I put them to. I realized I haven’t posted lyrics here in a while, so these are the lyrics to the song I’m writing musically called “October’s End”.
Please don’t be turned off by the bleak tone of the lyrics, they are not all like this, and I would consider this the most depressing one I have written. I also don’t write all of the lyrics for Lifting Shadows, so if you don’t like the general style know that Patrick also writes some lyrics as well. All that being said, please enjoy and leave comments and constructive criticism.

“October’s End”I am two Part numb and part you One is what you see And the other I see you through And I’m dying on the inside
The water from your eyes Creates a sea for me to drown The curve of your smile And I’ve fallen on my knees Every movement you make And I hate myself for this
I’ve cleansed in the misery surrounding me And I emerge more tainted than before You will always rise above the fog As I freeze in the bitter cold
And when I’m alone I cry for the hurt When I’m outside I’m Nothing but your fear And your fallen hopes and fallen dreams
I’m beneath the dirt you walk on I am nothing except the god of sorrow I am the plague eating you inside The tumor inside you’re head Your urge to kill it
You wouldn’t believe how many tears I’ve cried You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve died And no on hates me more than I The icy breath of an eternal sigh
As I shiver in the winter’s pale light As I enter the everlasting night I think only of you And the end of it all
It’s October’s end And six months has left no change I shiver in the winter’s pale light Entering the everlasting night
