lyrics

All of these notes and trifling little words. The dreadful party of stolen time. Every song and every attempt falls short, and every melody has now become meaningless. Losing myself in the sound of strife. I will never find that boy who lost all hope. Droning on and on of the same pain, again and again. It’s nothing more than an empty carousel, and it doesn’t ever seem to change. Laments on loss, a songbird trapped within the only tune it’s only ever known how to sing. I don’t know how to change, but it cuts down to the bone when you tell me I’ve done so. Is it all a plea for endless beauty or some need to no longer breathe? Have I taken shape of the imprint in my bed, shallow and sinking deeper with each night I dream of leaving? Do I dream of leaving for the sake of burying time and the death of candles, whole of passion and sensations of feeling whole again? Behind my head I think the course has changed, but I fall into the exact same time from every night I’ve ever had. Innocence has long since fled, and I promised you that I could change, but each and every time, I retrace what’s fled from my throat and swallow them whole again.

How can I break the chains of fibers forming all I’ve ever been? How can I feel any less afraid without a way to make this fear of waking go away? How can I ever beg myself to wake up, when all I want to do is dream. If I don’t believe in a life better than this, how could I ever find rest in eyes closing down? Tonight I’ll push too hard, and I’ll crack.
