lyrics

There's a disconnect from heart to mind
Been to hell and back and I survived
With scars as evidence
Thought that this might be a chance to grow
Even hell itself couldn't make me whole
Just want to feel alright

The weight on my shoulders
I wish I could hold it
And tell myself I would be alright
But I'm suffocating
The silence is grating
Despite all the noise that's in my mind

Playing back, I've seen it all before
Make a change, that leaves you wanting more
Not worth the time of day
Try to make some sense out of it all
There's no plan, sometimes you lose control
Despite the best laid plans

The weight on my shoulders
I wish I could hold it
And tell myself I would be alright
But I'm suffocating
The silence is grating
Despite all the noise that's in my mind
There's no room for guessing
Proceed with the system
That dictates the roads left in my life
Roadmaps all obscure
Disrupting the future
For now we’re just left to a god’s devices

The way it goes
A casualty of circumstance
Believe that nothing is owed and yet it keeps its take
The way it goes
A waste across this great expanse
Believe it’s now what we chose and so it keeps its take
Blegh
