lyrics

know that we are forced to live
with the promises that we made
we wear our mistakes
on our faces
counting
more and more
year to year

but i'm just trying
to find some purpose
i'd hoped that this held meaning
but i know
our lives grew together
and at first
we'd seemed so strong

stay by my side
i won't be a burden
let me pretend that this
holds some meaning
cries below muddle my mind
breathing faltered in your sight
chest pulls up
head falls down
i collide

saw teeth
cut into branches
fell and covered roots
in concrete cracking through
their rings were young and few
this new life broke
the foundation aged
while hiding you

shattered
no need to worry
i could see it coming
please forget me
fingers crossed tight enough to break
familiar snap returns melancholy
set my bones
fill the cracks with mistakes
dressed again with forced apathy

sometimes i still feel you there
by my side
together we'd hide
sometimes i still fear that you're there
hiding inside

while cracks in the concrete
echo through the walls
my chest follows each one
and my head falls
sometimes i still feel you there
and every time it feels like

saw teeth
cutting into our skin
