I'm walking through the dark as though it's day
I've got memories trapped in photographs
In places I swear I've never been
A blurry view as the world just passed me by
And I concentrate on nothing else
Those here don't see my sunken eyes
I'm not awake
But I don't feel as though I've slept
If I could change tomorrow
With these thoughts that steal my time
If I could speak to my old self I'd say
Run for your life
Now I came here to
Drink away the sorrow
Then I'm gone
With scars that no one sees
Lines on my face
Disguised by age or letting go
Of the things I'd love to get a hold of
A bitter taste of what's going to be
And if I think about it long enough
I'm sure I'll dodge inevitability
I'm not awake
But I don't feel as though I've slept
If I could change tomorrow
With these thoughts that steal my time
Instead I lay awake at night and I
Lace my blood with wine
I'm never gonna be where we wanna be
If I can't shake this and survive
If I could speak to my old self I'd say
Run for your life
Can we turn this over
See what the flipside holds
Keep this close or
Let go
You're telling me to
Let go
I'm trying to
Let go
So I'm begging you to
Let go
And fall with me
Will I still lay awake at night?
Take control of what I foresee?
I live and learn but can't move on
Forever torn apart by the here or
Now that I learned to block it out
Or bottle up or glaze over my eyes
An inner buildup
I learn to repress 'til it's all numb
Or 'til I lose my mind
A snag in my plan seems to be
That as I age I'm losing who I used to be
I can't blame the passing of time
It's my fault
I take responsibility
Now I'm walking through the dark
And I start to see
That I made mistakes and let 'em go
Now it's time to live this day ahead of me
I'm trying to listen so please
Say it again
I really feel that if we
Say it again
I'm sure we'll make it if we
Say it again
You wanna take it
You just say it again
So tell me what I've been
I'll rebuild what I've broken
If I could change tomorrow
With these thoughts that steal my time
Instead I lay awake at night and I
Lace my blood with wine
Never gonna be where we wanna be
If I can't shake this and survive
If I could speak to my old self I'd say
Run for your life
