lyrics

And before she could see over the fence
Seeing nothing but the moon
And compared herself to it
Never could get far enough away
The light years of distance
Still dont take you from your pain
When that didnt work she mined into the ground
That coal black darkness stained you
Something awful that you found
You brought it back up with you in your eyes
That coal black kept you company
When you settled for what you couldnt find

And shes married to ghosts from her past
Like the long-gone soldiers in *Gettysburg
Reliving moments you cant grasp
The willow there never did take root
It wept itself away
You always hurt too soon
And self-defense can be a tricky thing
Those flowers can never bloom
Without vulnerability.
And you always seem to find yourself in black
Maybe its because you think
No ones ever coming back.

And when you throw those thoughts
into my mouth
It's a lot to chew
...You never knew what to do

It's that sound of the dark
That warmth in feeling nothing
That comfort in the night
Too tired
To be destroyed.
The call of the void.
The Call of the Void.
That comfort in the night
Too tired
to be destroyed.
