lyrics

I found myself sinking at the edge of town,
staring back with guilt I've held my breath for far too long,
watery eyes, a mouth full of wounds,
hopeful heart, I'll see you soon,
and I will, because you're everything to me,
what once was fun and games was just the start of the biggest mistake I've repeated time and time again,
and I kept asking when will it end this lifeless routine,
I've spent four years lost with regret
and I'm sorry to say communication has only felt like a choir
since I found myself crumbling from the habits that stole,
everything you expected from me, the warmth of your eyes,
a parents dream, well I'm done with killing time
and wasting nights through something that numbs me,
you gave my life back.

This album is really 2013 but in a good way. It encapsulates the feeling of being a teenager in the early 2010s or even just being in your late teens altogether Ambrose
