The Familiar Decay Lyrics

Hide your teeth, take us underneath
The spine you keep hardens as you sleep
Oh, you're turning in circles again
Oh, you're turning in circles again

Now you stand before me, a broken man
I will comfort you as best I can
A loving mother with a heart so broken

You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on
You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on

You are the only one
Honestly you were my only son
Oh, you're turning in circles again (Circles again)
Oh, you're turning in circles again

The uncomfortable weather that you inevitably did bring
With you that summer sickness that shook you from limb to limb
And I brought forward the floods that blessed your aching hands and blistered feet
I hope to never witness you roaming empty streets

You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on
You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on

This temporary calm, you'll find comfort in these arms
When you stood before me, a broken man
I tried to comfort you but you turned and ran
And I promised that I'd never leave you
But it's hard when I can't reach you
You're already gone
Honestly, you're already gone
