lyrics

I miss the old days
When we lay upon the shore
The days when we walked idle
Dreaming of adventures to come

We watched the stars burst into fire
For a moment as they died
And a sad song foreshadowed
It was the end of our path

The traces that you left
Are carved deep beneath my skin
They serve as reminders
Against my fragile self-esteem

Take it for what it is
We wore never a disguise
I'll cherish those memories
As a way to wave goodbye

And I hope you feel the same

Take me back to those times
We were filled with innocence
With the weight of words unspoken
You could reverse my decay

Take me back, one last night
We would drink our grief away
Joy against our helplessness
You made the sadness go away

There is beauty in our denial
Nothing's ever built to last
Time is ice within our bloodstream
But we put up a senseless fight

Let's talk that sun into setting
Sing so loud our lungs collapse
Let's stick tight against the horizon
Until trust tears us apart

As noltagic as I am
It's time we part ways
You gave me strength enough
To leave you in the end

Face the pain of letting go
I'd rather burn than slowly fade
On the ashes that we left
A vast forest will grow
