You're all caught up in memory
Stuck on the way things used to be
And you're pressed but unimpressed
With all your sad attempts to cope
Refusing to elaborate
Your empathy is second rate
As the furnace begins to singe the air
Right off your callous tongue
None of this is what it's meant to be
Down on the floor you feel the center of your gravity
No matter how patiently you wait to breathe
You hold on recklessly relentlessly
A warning shoots straight through the grey
Your memories won't fade away
The turning of the seasons brought you
Right down to your knees
Yelling 'til you've lost your voice
Screaming like you had a choice
You're struggling to mute the words
You've seared inside your head
None of this is what it's meant to be
Down on the floor you feel the center of your gravity
No matter how patiently you wait to breathe
You hold on recklessly relentlessly
Silhouettes in my head
Warning you of a feeling left unsaid
Paranoia as I start to burn the ink into my flesh
Silhouettes
Warning you of a feeling left unsaid
Paranoia as I start to burn
None of this is what it's meant to be
Down on the floor you feel the center of your gravity
No matter how patiently you wait to breathe
You hold on recklessly relentlessly
