Understanding Eris - Iron Lung Lyrics

Voices deceive, but the heart does not
This pain by my love, has been brought
Watching death unfold
Life's finale in vein
A complex prelude to eternity

We hold your hand, limp it drapes over ours
Consciousness escapes you

But it plagues me so
Your mind fully aware
Your body hauled in tow, deaf hearing every word

You, pine to respond
Are you truly alive
Or is this a lie
A fate worse than death

Slipping away, I hear your pleas begging me to stay
My body wanes, hanging off the cliff
I reach for you, fading away
I hear your pleas begging me to stay
These fingers strain
I will lose my grip

Pulled down below just as you are from above, your only anchor is love
On a crumbling bridge you stand
Ready for your collapse we hold you, back

Slipping away, I hear your pleas begging me to stay
My body wanes, hanging off the cliff
I reach for you, fading away
I hear your pleas begging me to stay
These fingers strain
I have lost my grip

So tell me
Tell me if it all gets better

And let me know
What made you pull that f*cking trigger
What made you pull that f*cking trigger

Did it ever occur to you, that I needed you
I had nothing
I need YOU
And now I have nothing

Embrace the black
The darkness of the night
Embrace your end, denying your life
Shaking hands with death we become ethereal
Shaking hands with death we leave life behind
