Toby May - Years Ago Lyrics

Every second like a lifetime
You're curled up on that seat
Play and repeat

Memories
Rewritten in their shaking hand
There's nothing to say
They'll have their way with you

Outside seasons come and go like tyrants across history
You're still stuck here a prisoner trapped by your own mind

Bargaining as if the outcome might just change
Making deals just for show with
The devil you know
Tears fall like diamonds from your eyes
Landing false on your face
Fakes in a real case

Outside children swing from branches
Fearless of the fall
Anyone they could see
That tree has been standing for centuries

While you've been waiting as the spiders weave their webs
You've been making maps on every wall
Come on you know they're there, just dodge them all

In this concrete room the locks gone from the door
Walk towards the sunshine through the snow
Don't you know the war was over years ago

Watching as the guards all disappeared

Hesitation keeps you warm, wrapped around your arms
But your feet become frozen
By the fears, you've been composing

While you've been waiting as the spiders weave their webs
You've been making maps on every wall
Come on you know they're there, just dodge them all

In this concrete room the locks gone from the door
Walk towards the sunshine through the snow
Don't you know the war was over years ago

While you've been waiting as the spiders weave their webs
You've been making maps on every wall
Come on you know they're there, just dodge them all

In this concrete room the locks gone from the door
Walk towards the sunshine through the snow
Don't you know the war was over years ago
