lyrics

Reality sets in when the illusion has gone
Disappeared with the passing of time
Disappeared upon the exit of love
And joined by the crushing weight of existence
The crushing weight of eternity

I just want to reach
I just want to breathe again
I just want to live my fucking life

Time wastes itself on no one
Cares no more for one life than another
We age, we die, we move forward in life
Time wastes no time at all

Fighting against my better nature
Every moment that I’m awake
I wonder how many times, I can
Fool myself before I figure it out

At the heart of everything
There is always a flaw
In this case it’s my belief
At the heart of everything
There is always a flaw
At the very heart, I found my light

I may have been self-centered
But at least I wasn’t self-serving

Don’t take me back to that place that felt like home

Don’t take me back
To a time when I
Thought I cared
A false sense of comfort
Will never be welcomed again
I know where I am
I know where I belong

I deserve a life of love and security
And I know where to find it

And I swear to god I won’t be sad
To never see that place again

I’ll fight off every past demon
To get my hands on what is mine
To reach everything that I deserve
Everything I’ve worked so hard to protect
And I’ll stay here forever
Because I know what’s best for me
