Procession Lyrics

These lyrics are inexcusably wrong.

* an escape that fails & makes the wounds that time won't heal alone, alone, alone

a mass of harmless attitudes, a type that won't subside. no matter what they say you knew your heart beats you late at night your heart beats you late at night (x3) *

I believe the song is an attempt to reach out to an overly depressed person (perhaps at the point of suicide). The singer knows of the hardships that this person lives with, though loves them too much to live without them, so tries to show them while life is strange & unbearable sometimes, it'd be even more unbearable if that person weren't around.
