lyrics

This is like, looking in the mirror this time last year,
Skeletal remains in place of what I pictured to be here,
How many times have you doubted yourself,
How many days have you spent down and out,
It's never enough to repeat words of good intention

I said don't,
Don't let this go,
I said don't you're making mistakes,
You're making mistakes again

You used to be someone to inspire,
But now you barely make the cut,
With hands bound, head down,
You are not what I see with my eyes tight shut

She said pull yourself up,
And dust yourself down,
You'll never find anything with your face to the ground

Show me your empty hands,
As inviting as you can,
Our colours fade but I stood strong in grey,
And is this the part where we,
Find peace in only sleep,
Our colours fade but I stood strong in grey

If I sit here, long enough,
I'll block the noise, with hands pressed to my temple tight,
Suffocating hands,
If you could only speak, loud enough,
I'll block the noise, with hands pressed to my temple tight,
To my temple tight
