Luciferian Blues

Matt Skiba


Gone
You left without warning
Your phone is no longer calling the warm
All of my days in the sun have melted away
I’ve been lost
For what seems like a lifetime i’ve crossed
That bridge for the last time
I watched as it burned asunder
It came down like thunder as i walked away

Cast me out set me free
I left with my doubts and my dignity
No devil to shout at no angels its true
Bittersweet luciferian blues

Home, this watery grave all alone
With no soul to save, all my bones
Were ground to fine powder as i hit the water it washed me away under tow
You’re my only friend now i know
What happens at the end of this road
I begged for forgiveness in vain it was useless
I’m better off here on my own

Cast me out set me free
I left with my doubts and my dignity
No devil to shout at no angels its true
Bittersweet luciferian blues

It’s all just a matter of time
‘til we shatter like glass in the night
Like a tree that once silently fell
On dark forest as lonely as hell
And i barely made it out alive
But i came out on the other side
No regrets, no apologies while you’re up there and down on your knees

Cast me out set me free
I left with my doubts and my dignity
No devil to shout at no angels its true
Bittersweet luciferian blues
