lyrics
There is a gulf open between us
Can’t we bridge it somehow
We have had so much taken from us
I feel me falling back
I can’t let myself get hurt again
I can’t drown in myself
But I no longer know what to do
This open air has come to an ultimatum with itself
Go back to the same problems
That apprehensive prognosticate life
My home for twenty years
The same old pinwheel spinning with a dull backdrop of grey
These sinners, are making me see
I no longer need envy
New aegis advises a means to ends
Gentrified life is a necessity
I have waited too long for this
I can’t wait anymore
I can’t wait anymore
I hope you feel like shit
The day after you broke my heart
Roses were at your doorstep
You are the parasite within me
You are the
Cancer eating me alive
I wished I could forget every moment we ever had
But now I’ve realized that this wasted time
Can turn around and better me
For the struggles I’ve overseen (the struggles I’ve overseen)
Has brought me towards empty
20 long hard years searching
20 years more and I won’t give a fuck
You are the cancer eating me
Can’t we bridge it somehow
We have had so much taken from us
I feel me falling back
I can’t let myself get hurt again
I can’t drown in myself
But I no longer know what to do
This open air has come to an ultimatum with itself
Go back to the same problems
That apprehensive prognosticate life
My home for twenty years
The same old pinwheel spinning with a dull backdrop of grey
These sinners, are making me see
I no longer need envy
New aegis advises a means to ends
Gentrified life is a necessity
I have waited too long for this
I can’t wait anymore
I can’t wait anymore
I hope you feel like shit
The day after you broke my heart
Roses were at your doorstep
You are the parasite within me
You are the
Cancer eating me alive
I wished I could forget every moment we ever had
But now I’ve realized that this wasted time
Can turn around and better me
For the struggles I’ve overseen (the struggles I’ve overseen)
Has brought me towards empty
20 long hard years searching
20 years more and I won’t give a fuck
You are the cancer eating me
