I thought that if I could shake this
I'd grow up, at least
Grow into something or someone
That I could understand
I've only deteriorated
Myself and those close to me
A cause we never knew was lost
Well before the beginning
It goes on and on and on
Won't get home till after dawn
A love that crushes like a mace
Until the words won't come out
Leaving home behind before
Broken glass and Ivy stands
And the words won't come out
So the stage will collapse
Will the ice endure the weight of our crimes
Will these swollen stairs bind my wrists?
From the carousel / I've fallen on shaky knees
These images we weaved / Always held defeat
I offered my hand / And my heart as a steed
And I swear you held your own through clenched teeth
The sun is gone / the lights / have left this place / left us blind
Left us tripping over each other in a crippling fear of being locked inside together
Ruby and opal shed faint light
What you had left was enough
I wanted to know
If there was ever a chance
If you think about all you've done
And have any regrets
I know i wanted to go
And leave all that was made
I've given up on the chance
Built up regret
But you forget that
You forgot that, didn't you?
