lyrics

Your stuff still stands like tombstones in our rundown apartment,
And I pass them with the formality of a beautiful scenery that’s become mundane,
And maybe if your belongings still continue to collect dust,
Then this iron ship of trust will rust,
Ill convince myself youll return.
And silence screams insecurities from point blank range,
A house is a house but a home is not the same,
With teeth hanging in your mouth encased like bat perched in dark caves,
The words I want to say roll off my tongue like salt filled waves,
Only to fall short of your shore,
And I still mistake my heartbeat for footsteps,
If its worth now to then,
I changed the light in the den,
Maybe ill see things clearly.

So ill rot inside the skin
Ive been hinged upon the end
But never bothered to begin

Ive been dissecting this dialogue
With so many rights
That I had circled wrong

And I was swimming through your waves
What felt like anchors on my arms
You were all that I did see
You were each beat inside my heart
But now your tide is changing quick
And I am drowning in all this
Im am still drowning in all of this

My heart still beats nostalgia

Every lied that i
Had to , to confess
Was another stone
Another stone upon chest,
Now I struggle to define
Which one is stealing my last breath
The person that I call myself
I have been trying to forget

We past all the bridges burnt and all ships we sank and that see of guilt I was force to drink.

Behind these black doors I hide
Till a piece of peace resides
Ill let hope steal my eyes
You see im moving

My heart beats off rust

For we were a monument
That’s made, made of sand
I threw my words in the wind,
And head into my hands
Cause I don’t know the difference between
Recovery and being jaded
I keep my heart safe behind
These black doors
