it's hard to say when all the things we owned began to own us
it's hard to say we chose the world, we chose the wider way
our hearts and minds can be such fickle things, of that i'm certain
we let our lives get in the way
some would say our lives are what we make of them, but
i would say there's more to life than just saving face, now
i've run away for so long that the path is grayed out
the more you lead, the less i stray
we've built an alter to ourselves and wonder why we falter now
we wonder why our works have failed
we chose a foolish way
our hearts are yearning for a light to sweep away the darkness
beacons of another day

Days We Spent

you wore your lies so well
we took you in and couldn't tell
you set the bait, we fell
for every message that you sell
it's safe to say we're catching on to all your sick and selfish ways,
the jig is up
it's time to pay.
you should have seen this coming again,
so obvious, it's evident that
you made your bed and now you're smothering,
but we can't forget the days we spent.
i guess that we could say
we're done with all the games you play
we'll take the reins today
we are the artists, you're the clay
we've come to know your signs and signals
we know them oh so well
we're over it, or can't you tell?
we can't forget.
but they say you can't get past this, forget this
i say tomorrow comes with a fresh new breath of innocence
we haven't always been this bitter, darling
let's try to catch the flames
capture them before they burn us
you should have seen this coming

after all that's said and done, we're far from perfect
we both put faith and love aside, content to drift apart
through thick and thin, we swore we'd build each other up
sometimes it takes a pair of wounds
to heal complacent hearts
and i know we won't get through alone
and i know
it's hard to think that you almost got away, almost ran away
how could i have been so blind for so long?
this is the point where we get to right the wrongs
sing a new song
rewrite the story of our lives
swear i'll love you more and more from this day forward
rebuild the love we let decay and die
we are but selfish broken things without a savior
still we'll cling onto this hope
until the day we die
and i know we won't get through alone
and i know
we'll sing a new song
rewrite the story of our lives

Draw the Line

you think you have the answers
and yet they seem so far away
pretend that it's not what you wanted
pretend that everything's okay
you bottle up all of your worries
and now they start to overflow
you keep your secrets so close
(you really think that i don't know)
we're running out of time
the more i give, the more you take
you flash that smile i know is fake
i've failed again by your design
this is where i draw the line
you burned that bridge i built for you
this goodbye's so long overdue
i've failed again by your design
this is where i draw the line
i've lost that silent sense of meaning
you've taken more than you can know
pretend that it's not what you wanted
pretend our futures all away
you bottle all your insecurities
and now they're starting to explode
you're left with guts and broken bones
(a mess without a trace of hope)
your sickness is a crime
