Burn The Evidence

from Bloodstains by Down In Autumn

lyrics

Well, a month or too is doable, I guess?
Been through our sentence this far, I’m sure we’ll suffer through the rest,
Though the walls are closing in, and I’m turning white with stress,
We’re breaking down and living with the mess.

And I can’t recall the last time that we spoke,
that didn’t end in accusations, spitting fire and smoke,
it’s a ‘happy-ever-after’, someone’s written as a joke,
And we’re scratching out each line we ever wrote.

It’s the end now, someone’s coming round to repossess the house,
We’ve no clue what awaits us, at this point we just need out,
It’s the end now, and I’ve wished for it each night for fucking years,
Burn the evidence that we were ever here.

Left to the realisation that it added up to shit,
Did we realise what we had before we made the call to quit?
Burn the evidence so no one knows the fucked up things we did.

Well, with no one else around you start to think,
Could probably have done more to try and fix these broken things,
Too preoccupied, unsatisfied with thoughts that never leave,
Now reality’s infecting all our dreams.

Was there ever hope for us making it through?
Obsessed with what we don’t have, but not with what we do,
Well the world has changed outside the dirty windows we look through,
Hard to see when dirt’s reflected back on you.

It’s the end now, something’s coming round to take away our stuff,
Been made to seem so frivolous but we couldn’t get enough,
It’s the end now, seems we ignored all the warning signs for years,
Burn the evidence that we were ever here.
