The demons of my past are catching up
And there is no true place to hide
Living on the fringe, isolated, alone
And nobody can hear me cry
I'd let it rest for time, but the ghosts wake up
To bring the memories back again
The void inside has commandeered my peace of mind
With silence as my only friend
When I study your eyes
I see no compromise
To the war that rages inside
I see the open wounds, the scars
The closing tomb, and
You want to fix the wrongs of yesterday
I think of all the stories that I made up
I think of all the times enough wasn't enough
It all reflects when I look into your eyes
The past is the jail that imprisons me
And moving on isn't easy as it seems
The cursed past controls the cursed now
I'll never escape from my old self
Is it too much for me? Should I run and hide?
Should I stop it all, or let it slide?
I let it go to waste, and I'm at my end
There's no real way to save me now
I k**ed everything that meant a thing to me
Things I've been taught to never live without
All I have remaining are these memories
And I still hang on? I don't know how
I think of all the stories that I made up
I think of all the times enough wasn't enough
It all reflects when I look into your eyes
The past is the jail that imprisons me
And moving on isn't easy as it seems
My old ways never seemed to fade away
And you're the apparition that mirrors me
I guess I'm done; the curtain's dropped
They think I'm fine, but no, I'm not
It's out of reach, I missed my shot
11 down to 12 as I race the clock
I guess we're done; the curtain's dropped
They think we're fine, but no, we're not
It's out of reach, we missed our shot
12 down to none as we race the clock
When I study your eyes
I see no compromise
To the war that rages inside
I see the open wounds, the scars
The closing tomb, and
You want to fix the wrongs of yesterday
Wounds fade, wounds fade over time
But their scars always remain
