Gathering remnants of the past Like trying to piece together broken glass I wish I could find bliss in reminiscing But I can't shake the feeling that something missing Or maybe it was never there Our contentment got lost between all the blank stares My hands, outstretched, looking for something to hold onto But I couldn't keep my grips on... Tearing at the "remember when's" Feel a sense of regret as every shred falls to the floor Still every morning, the sun shines through my door But your jacket is gone; I won't see you anymore (I should've known it's easier to let go)

Resolve 03:14
Looking back, it makes no sense It's like I had a whirlwind stuck in my head Sending my thoughts in all directions Kept me from ever finding my own bed I guess you could say I was forced to change The situation rearranged, and it put me in my place But it's safer to say that I wanted to change To break the chains that kept me attached to my old ways I convinced myself that it had to end I just wanted to feel real again
3.
You're getting thin Soon you'll be transparent I'm starting to be able to see right through you so easily You've spent your whole life listening To all of the subtle sounds of advice But you never learned a single thing Never could admit, that you were ever wrong I'm bent on forgetting all the nights spent hiding in your basement I'm over it, could never get any sleep I kept on staring at the cracked cement, getting lost in the words that I never meant Making promises that I couldn't ever keep So stay quiet, don't speak Because to me, you're only worth the weight of the secrets that you keep When I get back home I'll stay awake and contemplate every misstep and every mistake Breathe easy, pull my heart out of my chest tonight Because I know you know how I love to feel empty And it seems that you're losing all the light in your eyes
4.
Shut-In 03:55
I spent my whole life with my hands tied behind my back and I'm letting everything fly over my head I want to know how hard It is to get back to All of the best parts Sleeping on a couch never meant for two Can you tell me what it feels like to be whole again? i'm cutting holes in the fence I tried to mend I always seem to break before I start to bend I spent my whole life with my hands tied behind my back and I'm letting everything fly over my head There's no point in second chances So I'm counting down the seconds Until I come to realize There's bliss living in negligence Delay the process Ask where the time went Try to find the difference Between what's right and what's important Tell me what it feels like, to be whole again

I've been biting At the brick to see how long it takes to break my teeth but the foundation we built was never strong enough to hold ourselves up It's been a few days I still find it hard to speak out your name Your chest was heavy with all the things that you chose to never say Could you tell me how it felt When you decided to let it all out? Oh, why did I do this again? Coloring in all of the dents Just to cover up how great I am at playing pretend But how could you say that I'm the one to blame? I only followed the rules to the game That you taught me how to play Sit back and let it sink You're really not as much of a victim As you think Could you tell me how it felt When you decided to let it all out? If you could only practice what you preach You seem to think you've set yourself so far out of reach But we both know you would've done the same thing as me

about

The future holds bright, when we learn from mistakes.
Resolving the conflicts, we had made on the way.
All that is golden, is not what it seems.
Take what you can get, and then you'll be free.
