lyrics

I've spent my whole life
Chasing a vision of myself
I'll never obtain
The hunt pursues
Question my subconscious can't explain

There's nights I wish that the walls would come to life
So that I could have someone too
Talk to when I am
Alone

She walked in
Wearing heartache on her sleeve
Her eyes pulling me closer
It was a picture perfect scene
Your smile, betrayed the venom we sewed that night
I thought I could be myself
I guess I wasn't,
I wasn't enough

Opened up
Sewn back shut
You took what you wanted
And discarded my love
Post surgery
Operation gone wrong
Sides never seen
Made a mockery of
I bloomed
Into you
But the water was poisoned
The petals stained right through
Well I'm through
With this nurtured addiction
I'll sever the roots

I forget
Just how easily you can be
Erased from my mind
I know that we were
Just stupid kids
Trying to pass the time, but
This one seems to sting more than all the rest
Lying on your sheets I would have never guessed
You would want to burn this
You would want to burn this
Want to burn this down

I tried to see things from your
Perspective
But I only
Got lost behind
Your bright blue eyes
Seeking the truth
Hoping to find
What I had suspected all along
That this
Didn't pertain to me
It was all about you
And your fucked fallacy
A broken home
And scarred memories
Could only explain what you did to me
A fleet of red sails
Floats in your past
All broken from the wind used to break their masts
You reveled at the thought
Of being in control
Abusing your vanity
To hide the side that's never shown

It's never that easy
I understand
It's never that easy
I understand

That we
Only met eye to eye
when, we were lying down

I forget
Just how easily you can be
Erased from my mind
I know that we were
Just stupid kids
Trying to pass the time, but
This one seems to sting more than all the rest
Lying on your sheets I would have never guessed
You would want to burn this
You would want to burn this
Want to burn this down
