Falcon Kick! 03:24
We promised that we'd never speak of this But keeping quiet only furthered the distance And this is nothing but a flaw that you would make me into So fall asleep until you wake up and want to forget me (I can't expect you to ever come back down) Just leave me right here, I will be fine on my own I've seen the picture so clear With nothing left to fall through now What brought us to this? 'Cause I can't see where we went wrong before I let this one go Over my head, to where we stood To where we watched it all fall down But I won't let this get to me So fall asleep until you wake up and want to forget me (I can't expect you to ever come back down) Just leave me right here, I will be fine on my own I've seen the picture so clear With nothing left to fall through now At the end of the day I'm glad you broke it off before I could say Everything that's been torturing me (You took advantage of more than you think) And it's not unlike you to drive this point home, to shove it down my throat You want me to choke, but I've long been comatose So let go And if I had the chance to explain myself again, I wouldn't waste my time I was better off, still better off Leaving these memories behind

So did you think that I'd come running back to you as soon as you Left me on the ground to bleed out from where you stuck two Shards of hope and despair in my side Now I'm struggling to find out why Promises made were left silent And the guilt forever holds a place in my chest And it keeps me on the fence between integrity and dishonesty You waited for the day you could bury me away and run How long can you keep this up? And how long 'til you realize that You wanted something more than you could ever admit But it wasn't safe to stay until the panic set in Dwelling on the consequence, you left me in the dark To save yourself from blame in the eyes of everyone Promises broke are set prominent Etched with blood and salt that you stained in my skin And my mistake was putting too much trust in What we swore we'd never speak of again

Overcast 03:34
Chasing voices softly heard in the distance Familiar sounds linger with a shift in position A passing glance, or what seems to appear Is this what it feels like to let the moments pass? To retrace, reminisce, and wish they'd all come back? But when did everything change? I've lost touch with everyone I've known To what I have, I'm hangin' on this time, not letting go It feels like I slipped behind Got caught up with myself and vanished with the time And all these blurry memories are all that's left of me So I'll stay where I am Lost in the back of everyone's mind And repressed over and over and over again So this is what it's like to let the moments pass To replace with mistakes that became all I have So I'll just accept I'm faceless I've lost touch with everyone I've known To what I have, I'm hangin' on this time, not letting go It feels like I slipped behind Got caught up with myself and vanished with the time And all these blurry memories are all that's left of me I've lost touch with everyone I've known To what I have, I'm hangin' on, I'm hangin' on, I'm hangin' on this time It feels like I slipped behind Got caught up with myself and vanished from their minds And all these blurry memories are all that's left of me

I've been sitting across the table from you Trying to pretend that things could still be how they used to And acting as if I don't still Carry all that weight Every single god damn day I'm sure you can't relate There's a reason I'm afraid of being blinded by constant Ideals you held me up to But now I'm looking down on you Before you expect me to extend my hand out unto you Understand that you no longer serve any profit to me And natural selection's coming for you 'Cause you've been rendered helpless after all now that you Carry all that weight Every single god damn day I'm sure you can't relate There's a reason I'm afraid of being blinded by constant Ideals you held me up to But now I'm looking down on you

Release 04:23
"It's just a phase you'll forget eventually" Fuck that, I was out when you tested me "No", I said "I've had enough" "It's been a long two years and I've been mad enough" And now I'm finally growing out of this haze just to feel the guilt and be greeted by your face I guess I never got the chance to say that you're not welcome here anyway I've been sleeping just to run from memories And I'm still sleeping just to run from everything What did you expect? Is this what you wanted? A chance to self-reflect and regain all that you've lost in me? You tore down any reason I had to stay And now you're left here wandering aimlessly And I've been stuck in a hell With your foot on my head 'til now It took some time to adjust and find that I'm self aware Nothing's changed but nothing's the same So I'll leave you lost with my apology I chose self-interest over sympathy And it's just the same thing again this time But I don't care enough to change your mind What did you expect? Is this what you wanted? A chance to self-reflect and regain all that you've lost in me? You tore down any reason I had to stay And now you're left here wandering aimlessly And I've been sleeping just to run from memories of the sands you shifted in my life And I'm still searching for some sanity to help me distance myself in time I've been sleeping to run from my memories And I'm still sleeping to run from everything It's not up to you to say "I am sorry for everything I put you through" But it's up to me to save myself from you
