Celebrating the ending of a connection to someone who didn't make your life better by being a part of it.

lyrics

There’s a dance and it plays me
It spins in my head
Through your eyes I can see the sparks fly
I can keep myself tumbling
I’m almost awake
It’s a shame that you’ve come here to die

The ivy reddens with your shame
And you think it’s just a game
The ivy twines around your arm
As it sucks away your charm
The ivy reddens with your shame
And you think it’s just a game
The ivy twines around your arm
As it sucks away your charm

And before you sink away
And your body turns to clay
I remember how you tried
To kill the girl I am inside

There’s a well where I sit
And it’s shrouded in vines
There’s a path but it’s hidden from you
Like moss between flagstones
Like lava in the sea
I will heal all the places you flew

The ivy reddens with your shame
And you think it’s just a game
The ivy twines around your arm
As it sucks away your charm
The ivy reddens with your shame
And you think it’s just a game
The ivy twines around your arm
As it sucks away your charm

And before you sink away
And your body turns to clay
I remember how you tried
To kill the girl I am inside

Snow falls in my footsteps
And blankets my eyes
The wind brings the rain
As it sighs

The ivy reddens with your shame
And you think it’s just a game
The ivy twines around your arm
As it sucks away your charm
The ivy reddens with your shame
And you think it’s just a game
The ivy twines around your arm
As it sucks away your charm

And before you sink away
And your body turns to clay
I remember how you tried
To kill the girl I am inside
Before you sink away
And your body turns to clay
I remember how you tried
To kill the girl I am inside
And I smile
