Salem - Nine Months

Once in every lifetime a heart is lost
Then you need to find time to count the cost
I know you may be thinking there's nothing more
For every broken key there's a broken door

Nine months, nine months nine months
Nine months of gilded purgatory a lifetime of insanity
Nine months, nine months nine months
Nine months of questions locked away
A solitary sentence takes nine months

Trying to find a way to face it all
Turns open windows into prison walls
And though you may be thinking you've seen the light
Your empty heart is sinking into the night

Nine months, nine months nine months
Nine months of gilded purgatory a lifetime of insanity
Nine months, nine months nine months
Nine months of questions locked away
A solitary sentence takes nine months

Suddenly heading homeward, you realise
Your broken spirit keeps your head held high
And though you may be thinking it's over now
Your own belief can stop you from going down

Nine months, nine months nine months
Nine months of gilded purgatory a lifetime of insanity
Nine months, nine months nine months
Nine months of questions locked away
A solitary sentence takes nine months
