lyrics

Fading away to non-existence,
Saying you’ve got no room for skeletons in your life.
Get the water over your head,
Next thing you know we’re all lying dead.
Am I still the same boy I was before?

This world’s so perfect for not a soul I know,
Stuck to the outside of a cage,
A comfortable home that I have made,
The scenery’s becoming social
And there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.

Time invested in ourselves,
All of that can go to hell.
Should have known that it was too much,
Should have settled for being bored.
Working hard to save my health,
Self-improvement on myself.
Who’s to say it was all in vein,
I’ve made mistakes before.

(Breakdown)
Don’t Look Back!

Shaking earth under a stampede of unsure steps,
We are a place of superstars and repertoires.
And we are creatures of habit, I’ve been told,
And we may never break that mold.
Life long regrets are something that I’ve never kept,
And I’ve never felt more dead than alive.
Or so we hope, or so we all hope.
Or so we hope or so we all hope

Is hope just something we’ve invented?
Is discretion just something that we’ve brought up from the dust?
I wish it wasn’t if it was,
Oh how everyday I wish it wasn’t if it was.
And remember when I said it’d be best for us to leave our thoughts and lives behind,
And next time you bring that barrel up to your mouth,
Remember I’m the one who said to do it.
I’m sorry.

We love this city we call our home,
We’ve got our friends we won’t be alone.
Or so we’d choose to think,
It’s never what we ever thought.

Time invested in ourselves,
All of that can go to hell.
Should have known that it was too much,
Should have settled for being bored.
Working hard to save my health,
Self-improvement on myself.
Who’s to say it was all in vein,
I’ve made mistakes before.

I’ve made mistakes before,
I’ve felt this way before,
I’ve made mistakes before,
I’ve felt this way before,
I’ve made mistakes before,
I’ll pay for them now.

Time invested in ourselves,
All of that is more than,
I can keep in store for us.
Will someone tell me when we’re at our best.
