"After Dusk" lyrics

Will it ever wear off
Or are we bound to be bothered with this emptiness?
Is it worth the wait?
Was it all supposed to be this convoluting?
Maim me at your first chance
Or I'll escape

Shake off the shame that you kept within and
Save it if it's unsafe for the rest
I'll just pretend like you're innocent if you'll
Take back the blame that you placed me with

I never wanted you to understand how you handled me wrong
I walked away as you allowed my leave, tears in face, sealed off
Destruction isn't unknown to me, you can see where I failed
Descriptively unapproved and bleak, this isn't what you would want

Shake off the shame that you kept within and
Save it if it's unsafe for the rest
I'll just pretend like you're innocent if you'll
Take back the blame that you placed me with

Take back the blame, take back the blame
Take back the blame that you placed me
With your support, I'll block you off from the door
I'll stand in front of the storm
Tear off a piece to engorge, I'm the reason

The light's not blinding me enough
It likes it colder than before
It likes it colder than you know
Colder than you know

I never wanted you to understand
I never wanted you to understand
I never wanted you to—

Shake off the shame that you kept within and
Save it if it's unsafe for the rest
I'll just pretend like you're innocent if you'll
Take back the blame that you placed me with

It likes it colder now
Colder now
Colder now
It likes it colder now
Now
