Cover your own retreat.
When you leave, don't let the sun burn your eyes.
We're living life so fatally. We won't be fine.
How did we used to cope without this rope to hold ourselves afloat?
When everything comes crashing down, will you be around?
We've been so jaded.
When did face to face become so complicated?
This is a part of me that always seems to die,
like when I looked at your grave for the first time.
I'll hold vestigial contact with days gone by.
This is a part of me that always finds me.
Your secrets safe with me, my friend.
And even with this door closed tight,
you couldn't find a way to make amends
I don't see an end.
I can't rely, I can't depend on something so unrealized,
but then again, I'm not surprised.
And I can't wait to break you down.
And I can't wait to wear your crown.
You'll stay buried safe and sound.
And you wonder why your picture's got the eyes scratched out?
You can celebrate with me when it all comes down.
This is a part of me that always seems to die,
like when I looked at your grave for the first time.
So throw your screen to the concrete.
Never question why this is a part of me that always finds me.
