lyrics
Welcome back.
Was heaven holding you down, stringing you up, pushing you under ground.
Was life too fleeting and hell too heavy?
To see what else there could be beyond this city.
Where did you loose control?
How was I supposed to know?
I’ve got regrets that live inside and I’ll never understand your reasons why,
you made yourself see through on a diet of depression and lies.
Along with the people you try to hide in your past as I cried.
“We must do that which frightens us most”
“If god is truth, then god doesn’t live here”
How much violence is there in distance?
What’s been eating you all this time?
And what happened to us both?
On our own walks home down the line.
You’ve turned to ashes and rusted out.
I’ve spent so much time looking for the light I helped blow out.
And you don’t need me, and you never did.
But my selfish soul wishes and my blind eyes beg .
I am still holding on
Can you remember?
a city that enslaved you,
a heart that lost you,
a man who betrayed you,
and the boy who couldn’t save you.
I’ve offered a soul to one person.
One life for another.
Welcome back.
