lyrics

I am both fettered and numb under my calendar's thumb
The future's as wide as the present feels narrow when thinking about what's to come
The past is a callous embrace, a treacherous place to get caught
Don't go putting your faith into memories they will deceive you more often than not

Yours is a memory to which I return
When I don't know what I want or need
Yours is a letter I refuse to burn
But can't bring myself to read

I am alone and awake, fixating on a mistake
Inwardly maimed, I'm ashamed and I'm sure you're no more than the choices you make
Nothing could frighten me more than that which evolves in my mind
There's no greater sedative, poison, or medicine than the passing of time

Ours was a carelessly uprooted seed
A ghost, to which I cannot help but return
I felt it die when I felt you and me
Growing worn and taciturn

Still to your memory I choose to return
It's my fault and my fault alone that I bleed
Yours is a letter I refuse to burn
But can't bring myself to read
