Those words seemed so sincere
And I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
I can still hear the trees
At my back and haunting me
Unafraid, unaffected
This has all gone so wrong
Under this December sky
I walked away compromised
Counting steps of what's left
To bring this all to an end
Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game
It's not a game to me)
Pictures on the drivers seat
So now we we will both kill the messenger
It's such a blur
You didn't even see
This meant everything to me
Invisible plans you made
Deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
But disappearing
If it's gray then
Just leave it
Some colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
That's what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
Claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
To shield yourself from the blame
Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe
Those words seemed so sincere
In this shallow sea I drown
You want to run and hide to catch your breath
(This can't be happening)
But why don't you come inside and capture all that's left
(This can't be happening)
Capture all that's left
(Oh, but this is happening)
I don't want to wait for this
(A ruined list, the longing kiss)
Making all the moments last
(As if we had, the sentiment)
Yearning for the sound
(Breaking from the crowd)
Leaving all the cynics
(Racing for the finish)
