Tracing back the steps In close memory Of the lives I've once crossed Of the lives I've once put forth Like footsteps Imprinted in the snow Long melted away with the summer's warmth Through the field of weeds Split in this moment I find myself going on and on I just needed a fucking way out I just needed a way out How can something you once thought to be so real End with loneliness being the only thing you'll ever fucking feel This hefty heart has nothing else left to exhaust But the lies fed constantly with little to no remorse I never needed a brand new start What difference would it make to this heart Split in this moment I find myself going on and on I just needed a fucking way out I just needed a way out Let me go Blurry are the lines That once painted a vivid picture Of your loyalty But it was all a game I never needed a brand new start Because what difference would it make to this heart For the man who needs nothing Never goes without For the man who needs nothing Never goes without For the man who needs nothing Never goes without

Fleeting from all my trials With the aid of vices As the sun makes its way This darkness surrounds us Took a backseat while I watched Everyone moving with the ticking clock Fine as everything seemed I only found myself knee deep in nothing The deafening silence of the morning Reminds me of the darkness that once lid The hope for change just simply yearning And the memories that I can't forget And all the words that I carelessly select And all the memories that I can't forget Why do I try so fucking hard When I've come to terms with the fact That coming of age is only but a milestone For the things that I'll never achieve I took a backseat while I watched Everyone moving on I took a backseat while I watched Everyone moving on I took a backseat while I watched Everyone moving with the ticking clock Fine as everything seemed I only found myself knee deep in nothing I can pretend to forget But I'm trying my best But I'm trying my best I can pretend to forget But I'm trying my best But I'm trying my best

If only I could wake Into the middle of last week All of what I am Selflessly for you to take If it's not to much to ask Comfort in my own skin is all I seek If you're going to leave please just do Even though that you promised that you wouldn't Months ago when you were Crying into the weaves of my sweater And I know that sometimes it rains When it clearly shouldn't And we tear the flowers out of the ground Just to watch them wilt and die I was never afraid of ghosts Before you left But now I see you everywhere And it's making it hard It's making it harder for breathing It's making it harder for breathing We had no ending Neither said goodbye And for the rest of my life I will wonder why

Remission 03:54
I just wanted a grip in all of this But it always seems like I'm missing a piece Close enough for me to taste When will I get to the end I'll admit ignorance on my part Trust that I've done All that I could The dirt wedged in between The cracks in the tiles All that was jaded Well washed into the color of denial I told myself I would never regress But the plague that stream the courses of my veins Will always be black They'll always be black And I've given up on myself I know it's too late to make things right Never thought I would feel so sorry for myself That you were deserving of so much more I know I am nothing that you've hoped for

Departure 03:24
Have you ever wanted To be something more Than just a fleeting memory Just waiting to dissolve I've spent all my nights Hoping to someday Walk out that door To a place where I can find myself I guess it's time to go To a place where no one knows I know that I should leave Please miss me, don't mourn for me If less is more Then what more do I have If less is more Then nothing is everything If less is more Then what hope do I have If less is more Then nothing is everything
