I need to move on to a better life
I need to try to look for brighter light
I should feel guilty, I know you’re not fine
Well you can leave me, I won’t try to fight
So familiar, it’s so familiar
Feet fixed to the floor
What am I waiting for?
Such a long way home
Where did I go wrong?
Why’s it always your word against mine?
Watch me drown cause my hands are tied
I knew that every try would end the same
I felt the weight of all the endless blame
You’ve seen the worst of me, what I’ve retained
I’ve heard your side, it all sounds like a game
So familiar, it’s so familiar
Feet fixed to the floor
What am I waiting for?
Such a long way home
Where did I go wrong?

The Steps You Take

If it's all you need to know
To turn around and let me go
I couldn't tell you
Another way I would fail you
And all the mountains we have made
Out of the barricades we've sealed away
It's all a stupid made up game we play
The steps you take
Withered and torn in two
The paths we've crossed and grown into
Everything that you forget to notice
Now that the rain's gone
And the sun cuts through the clouds
Wonder if your frame of mind might be in focus
It's not enough to blame the ones that leave
Why won't you look down at your own two feet
If you're lost and all alone
After everyone is gone
You'll wanna count on someone
When there is no one
You can't hide from the truth,
But you can try if you want to
There's not enough room to keep it all tucked away
What's the logic in hiding that shame
In your mind if you're blinded
And it's probably better that way
Don't believe what they say
(And it's probably better that way)
If they knew, would they stay?
(Would it be better that way?)
Think back to the prints you've left behind
All but consumed from the arms of time
I'll stand beside you,
Misguided and tied to
The only path I know is letting go
Forgive me for the mess I've made of everything
Sometimes I'm not sure what's worth continuing
I forgive you and I hope that I'm worth remembering (remembering)
If you're not sure of me,
Be sure of anything
And if you're not sure of me…
You can't hide from the truth,
But you can try if you want to
There's not enough room to keep it all tucked away
What's the logic in hiding that shame
In your mind if you're blinded
And it's probably better that way
Don't believe what they say
(And it's probably better that way)
If they knew, would they stay?
(Would it be better that way?)

Afterimage

You drew the lines that kept us together
And I stayed inside, for worse or for better
Time tries to fade, but memory knows better
I was the downfall, but we fell together
Did you do it for yourself?
Throwing water on the fire
Kept signaling for help
This story is just so tired
You tried to help me see
But couldn’t make me believe
How could I be so naive?
When I close my eyes, I can almost see it
Maybe things could get better if I leave it
The past is in the past, it’s just another season
Now I see the afterimage isn’t leaving
Sometimes I can’t decide
I think I know the reasons why
But it’s clouded in my mind
We thought that things could change
But you could never wait
The image stays the same
You left a mark I can’t erase
Did you do it for yourself?
Throwing water on the fire
I keep screaming someone help
This story is just so tired
When I close my eyes, I can almost see it
Maybe things could get better if I leave it
The past is in the past, it’s just another season
Now I see the afterimage isn’t leaving

Time Doesn't Forget

I found a brand new phrase
From a torn out page
Just to see if what I thought was wrong could set me free
Like a friend I’ve made
Then let go instantly
Every word I’ve thrown away
It always stays the same
And I’m ready to move on
But I think that I’ll keep it
Everyone has their secrets
It took me by surprise
Haven’t read this note in years
Thoughts recollect and I’m speechless
I try to keep my head above water
And this time it feels like I’m rounding the corner
So I choke on words I want to remember
But it’s easier to forget
When it’s said and done
Left holding onto nothing
My foundation left me empty again
Such a common way to be
All of my surroundings, they remind me
Of the moments that slip away
Like a saint with a broken grasp
Took everything and I’m taken back
Don’t forget, just hold on
I try to keep my head above water
And this time it feels like I’m rounding the corner
So I choke on words I want to remember
But it’s easier to forget
