GreyBeatsGazer Lines of life

I’m looking at your palms
They say our fate is written there…
But somehow your fate is leading you into the darkness
We’re not meant to walk the same path anymore

The lines of life on your slender hands
Hide the routes carried by the cold winds
You’re drifting away like smoke into nowhere
These tangled paths are leading us astray
Tears are falling to the slow beat
Our crossroads have long been forgotten
Palms clenched tight, and the star is fading out
The lines of life are leading us astray

I touch your wrists, feeling the silence
We missed the happiness we’d been promised
Notes are falling onto a sad melody
Ending our story in an instant, quietly

You look into my eyes but don’t really see me
We couldn’t save the warmth, couldn’t keep the flame alive
The bitter truth is pounding at my temples
We’re letting this memory slip through the sands

Hush… Only the bass cuts through everything
We’ll survive this city apart, I know it’s true
The map etched on the skin lied to us again
All we can do now is accept what’s begun

The lines of life on your slender hands, (On your hands!)
Hide the routes carried by the cold winds
You’re drifting away like smoke into nowhere
These tangled paths are leading us astray. (Astray!)
Tears are falling to the slow beat
Our crossroads have long been forgotten
Palms clenched tight, and the star is fading out
The lines of life are leading us astray

You stand there silently in the cold wind
I’ll erase this memory by the time dawn arrives
Subs are shaking the quiet melancholy
Time’s got a gun pressed to my temple, cold and steady

You pick your words carefully in the chat
But our story is dead — there’s no coming back
A cross on the palm — a broken sign, you see
We’re sinking deeper into this slow, dark sea

I let go of your hand, gently, for the last time
The last flame in it is burning down, fading with time
Our fates tangled and then tore apart like a thread
This script was never meant to be rewritten instead

The lines of life on your slender hands
Hide the routes carried by the cold winds
You’re drifting away like smoke into nowhere
These tangled paths are leading us astray! (Astray!)

Tears are falling on the slow beat! (Beat!)
Our crossroads have long been forgotten
Palms clenched tight, and the star is fading out
THE LINES OF LIFE ARE LEADING US ASTRAY

Your hand in mine… for the very last time
I see those lines
And I let them go
Walk your own path now
