Banshee - Valiant Hearts, Yosh

Oceans dark as night

Lap at shores of stardust

And beaches of light

Knife in the back, razor to the cuff

One more chance to call my bluff

But I know you won’t

I know this story well, you’re just pretending

Let’s skip the start and cut right to the ending

Where we both know there’s no gold

At the end of the rainbow

I watch her skin turn white and pale

Like she’s in a fairy tale

I see her ghost and I hear her wail

That she poisoned her own well

I still see her silhouette

Sitting at th edge of my bed

Wondring what more I could have done

To get those thoughts out of her head

I still see her silhouette

Sitting at the edge of my bed

Wondering what more I could have done

To save her from herself in the end

We all find the same escape in the end

We close our eyes and just drift in

Oceans dark as night

Lap at shores of stardust

And beaches of light

Light

Slow, slow death

Mercy, mercy

Like a moth to a flame

You burn yourself again

Don’t you get it

My faults are just the same

I know that you’re intent on running away

Can’t shake this sorrow

It always hangs on even when I let go

And now you’ve given up trying to play the hero

‘Cus every corner that you turn, your score resets to zero

Will you bend or break, every fibre in your body’s so brittle

Cut me out of your chest, leaving nothing in the middle

I still see your silhouette

At the edge of my bed

Nothing more I could have done

To save her in the end

I still see her silhouette

Sitting at the edge of my bed

Wondering what more I could have done

To get those thoughts out of her head

I still see her silhouette

Sitting at the edge of my bed

Wondering what more I could have done

To save her from herself in the end

In the end

I know this story well, you’re just pretending

Let’s skip the start and cut right to the ending

Where we both know there’s no gold

At the end of the rainbow
