Minus} - Contempt

Copied!edit Lyrics

When we cross to the other side
Feel secure that the knot is tied
And we’re still aligned

Always ever after

Shelter from the bitter storm
Insulation from the cold
Keeps the welcome warm

Always ever after

And we’re adding fuel to the fire
The embers glowing with a spark
The concerns are wholly justified
We misjudge the distance in thе dark

Seems as if we’ve lost control
And contempt has takеn hold
But we never know

Always ever after

Grasping for a final chance
Without fear of reprimand
Before we let it go
Always ever after

And we’re adding fuel to the fire
The embers glowing with a spark
The concerns are wholly justified
We misjudge the distance in the dark

So we’re adding fuel to the fire
The embers glowing with a spark
The concerns are wholly justified
Can’t judge the distance in the dark

And we never know
What will take hold
