The Saint and the Valentine - Psyclon Nine

I can’t remember what it means to be alive

will you show me?

will you show me how to get inside?

I can’t remember what it means to sacrifice

when I can’t even feel the pain when I’ve been so anesthetized.

No, I don’t mean anything

Nothing to the divine

As I lay my heart before you

I burn in the shadow of the saint and the valentine

Kiss the cold and the dark,

and say goodnight to the memories

The ghost of a yesterday

will hold you close to keep the hurt at bay

As our time transpired

we became as effigies

underneath a veil of grey

collapsing in on our own decay
