lyrics

So, you need something new
I’ve had it, I’m letting this go
Sooner than later I’ll be sick and tired of you
Reached out but you froze there below
Somehow my point isn’t getting through

Try to connect what is real
Get caught up and it’s left behind
Can’t stir from pointless danger
The tide, it washed out your fate
The view on life you chose with both eyes closed
You were the last to show
Something great now here could grow

See this ending soon
Telepathy’s your only guide
Was never meant for you
Simply abide
Sick revenge, salivate
Your own pulse alone flickers go
So get out, erased from one more heart-breaking prize
Just get out, there’s no question of living life how you choose

You play, so let’s make that deal
With nothing left fueling this bind
Slave to that sinking anchor
You laughed and lied to my face
You’ve never hit so low with both eyes closed
The dark within that glows
Without fail, its prey is shown

Walking tall, straightened frame
I’ve embraced my findings every way
As shown, nil gloom
Gotten lost and took the longest turn, wrong lane
