lyrics

Drowning
Bleeding
But it feels right
But it feels right

Seeing
Breathing
For the first time
For the last time

And it’s true
I should’ve been there
When it mattered most to you
When it mattered most to everyone
And it’s time to face the truth
I know I’ve lost the way
But there’s no way to take back the time
Cause the hurt that’s yours is the hurt that’s mine

I’ve taken a step away
I’ve taken a step away

Believing
The deceiving
Words you once said
Stuck in my head

Words and thoughts
Become our weapons
When love starts to fall
Towards disillusion

Take a step back
And look at the mess you’ve made
Look at the mess we’ve made

And it’s true
I should’ve been there
When it mattered most to you
When it mattered most to everyone
And it’s time to face the truth
I know I’ve lost the way
But there’s no way to take back the time
Cause the hurt that’s yours is the hurt that’s mine

Emptiness
All you’ll find in my abyss
Bereft of all innocence
Consciousness duplicitous
Look me in the eyes and
Tell me
It will
Be ok
You can
Lie straight
To my
Fucking face
And the time is gone I can’t take it back
So I’ll carry on with my mind gone BLACK

And it’s true
I should have been there
When it mattered most to you
WHEN IT MATTERED MOST TO YOU
and it's time to face the truth

I know I've lost the way
But there’s no way to take back the time
Cause the hurt that’s yours is the hurt that’s
Mine
