Terrible Light - Secret Machines

I was the silent one

Before a warming glow

What was this faith

That burned a hole in you

And from the faintest spot

There is nothing we could have changed

How could this happen

Another flowering bloom

Before …

Yesterday’s roses

Scattered in broken glass

It was a …

Is this how it will end

And as I watch you walk away

You refuse to be replaced

You refuse to be replaced
