Heart's Content - Crutch Lyrics

Shorter days as the seasons change, as the life decays
The sun rushes past, there's no turning back
When will I cave, when will I cave

It's like I'm falling apart
Freeze freedom and swallow dirt
My crutch is burdened by the weight of it
Lay me down subsurface as my conscience slips
And now it's back to the start
Broad efforts and at lack of heart
Short breathed, uneasy, you're the substance to
To find bliss and to see this thing through

Without you, I would fall
I would never get back up
I need a remedy because I've had enough
I'd collapse, I'd relapse
Without your presence
I can't go back to the way I was

I'm dependant on you
Without your crutch
I'd rise and set with the sun
Shorter days as the fall begins
I'm dependant on you
Without your crutch
My ambitions ice over
With the waters rocks once crossed
The martyr in me is hanging by a thread

I need to set myself free and believe
I can stand on these two feet
There is reason to believe that I can grow as I retreat
Put my mind at ease
My heart's content, I'm better off alone
But I'll still miss you
On lonely nights when you're so close to home

Move past this
Seek light in the dark or decay
With petty feelings of comfort in static
Keep my fixed mind at bay
'Cause I'll prove I'm better than this
When reality's at my fingertips
An elusive train of thought while tied down to bitterness
