lyrics

With neither god nor demon to keep me here
It makes it a little harder to sleep
Although it can't be said I'll "wait in fear"
I'll stay here (mostly alone) aware that I never could
Ever hold you the way that he would (if not for me)
Being held, held by you

I should have seen this coming, but the falsehood felt so true
The best of times have given way to worst
It seems only right to me, those highs beget this low
With only hope that I, am broken for the better
Uncomfortably numb shall I, abandon, destroy, repeat (and then rebuild)
Until I'm a little more sturdy

God, please grant me another day to read between the lies
These anguished nights have left me tired, and the lines seem gaussian now
As I turn away from you, the vice on my chest clamps down
But only for now

I've heard that worry is a waste of imagination
But there's nothing else in my mind
Except scenarios that leave me wanting
For a reality that isn't based in a dream
For just one day with you extending past a single scene (left obscured)
From all but me

God, please grant me another day to read between the lies
These anguished nights have left me tired, and the lines seem gaussian now
As I turn away from you, the vice on my chest clamps down
But only for now
