lyrics

Too many things to be afraid of
So many ways to become obsolete
All of the times I drew it in my mind
The worries consuming me

The days fall out of focus
My heart begins to fail
The quiet seeps around me
All it takes is one betrayal

The night grips even tighter
My walls begin to shake
The air within me disappears
All it takes is one mistake

Someday I'll be forgotten
That day is sure to come
Might even be tomorrow
May have already began

That day is sure to come
That day is sure to come

Always thought I was a dreamer
I loved from someplace far
Now I see my arms were never reaching high
High enough to show my scars

The days fall out of focus
My heart begins to fail
The quiet seeps around me
All it takes is one betrayal

The night grips even tighter
My walls begin to shake
The air within me disappears
All it takes is one mistake

Someday I'll be forgotten
That day is sure to come
Might even be tomorrow
May have already began

My eyes saw all the colour
My ears heard only song
My mind was left to wander
All at once and all alone

It aches deep in my stomach
It pulses from within
It rages like a thunderstorm
My sorrow and adrenaline

Someday I'll be forgotten
That day is sure to come
Might even be tomorrow
May have already began
