lyrics

The Bitter Before The Sweet

How can an act,
Destroy completely?
Tear a world apart?

The madness comes, the madness stays,
It's there for months, not just for days,
It burrows in and makes a home.

When sullied facts,
Of infidelity,
Breaks and buries the heart.

The sadness runs, the sadness preys,
It makes the heart, but brittle clay,
It makes a sin of loves bare bones.

No more no more please,
It must be brighter soon,
The night is dark, I hear the call,
Of the sullied moon.

When cruelty,
Is the only promise,
How does one get back?

The sadness runs, the sadness preys,
It makes the heart, but brittle clay,
It makes a sin of loves bare bones.

The moon it taunts me wholly crude,
It whispers indiscreet,
But now I know the pain is a prelude,
The bitter before the sweet.
