lyrics

It shouldn’t be hard to comprehend
It was a promise you made and a promise you knew you’d break
You said goodbye in a bed of roses

A second it takes to become a memory
You call it progress, this broken world that I see
Just as my thoughts, how often they brought reality into my hands

Lifeless bodies drift out of sight from my callous eyes
And your shadow creeps beyond the sight of my conscious mind
I live through the days but don’t feel alive

These storms will carry us
And I’ll continue without you
I’ve wasted my time by looking for light
In places that I never knew

You said it’d be easy
But we both know it wasn’t true
Oh, how I long for the state of mind I possessed before I had known you

Dragging myself through the mists of stagnation
Convincing myself I’m beyond your redemption
Broken and bound by the stench of my failures
Drifting through absences left by familiars

What was so wrong with the past, that we had to move on to the future?

These storms will carry us
And I’ll continue without you
I’ve wasted my time by looking for light
In places that I never knew

These nights are far too long
And it hurts but I carry on
I’m finished shedding my skin with each day
But my eyes still burn in the light of day

These storms will carry us
And I’ll continue without you
I’m wasting time by looking for light
In places I never knew
