lyrics

The most powerful smell of wasted days gone by
As I wait for a casket carried by flies,
“Here lies a coward, a person who never tried”

Waiting in the darkest corners of your mind

No light is welcome here
Happiness and love can not reach
And hope left so long ago
And that’s fine

Finding comfort in the pain
I deserve this
This is how it always is
Nothing will change
My ashes return to clay

But maybe none of this is true
And it is so possible to change
And maybe pain does exist
Only as a lesson

I see so much clearer now
shattered lenses of my past

So tired of fear
We deserve something better
So tired of fear
We don’t deserve this
I’m learning to live for myself
And it isn’t any less beautiful
