lyrics

Reality
somehow went on ahead
Left behind a shell of what used to be
Bright eyed optimism instead

I’m counting Up things in other peoples hands
Asking the universe to meet my demands
Why do we only think of the light
When our shadows start to expand

Was I always so afraid of the dark
I can’t remember but I’ve been
Learning to walk
With my eyes closed just to prepare
What if the lights go off and no one else is there

Had this weight on my chest for so long
Had to learn how to breathe again
Let go of the ego
Relocate the core of who I am
Find the light I lost when I gave in

Was I always so afraid of the dark
I can’t remember but I’ve been
Learning to walk
With my eyes closed just to prepare
What if the lights go off and no one else is there

Was I always this angry at myself
Managed by the mirrors inside my cells
See with too much empathy
Sets in complacency
Wish I could set fire to my selfish fucking tendencies

I know this bridge is on fire
But the river's underneath it
So maybe we can still put it out
If I find enough buckets
I know this need for closure
Is far less than logical
But I can’t go back to a time
When I was above it

I won’t always be the best I can
But I can always try
X4

Was I always so afraid of the dark
I can’t remember but I’ve been
Learning to walk
With my eyes closed just to prepare
What if the lights go off and no one else is there
Was I always this angry at myself
Managed by the mirrors inside my cells
See with too much empathy
Sets in complacency
Wish I could set fire to my selfish fucking tendencies
