Lyrics:
I’ve seen the chaos from the outside looking in
The violent ones hellbent on bringing everything to an end
Trapped in the mirror
It’s battered and old
This is my desperate attempt to atone

For all those things I never did
And all the lies I told instead
I never knew that it would come to this

With future still uncertain
We’re running out of options
It all seems lost
But I haven’t given up

I keep on grasping at your ashes
I can’t believe it’s over and done with

It fell apart so imperfect
They should have took me instead, was I not worth it?

How can they plead ignorance?
While they kick them when they’re down
A disgrace to what we embody

The pain is growing inside
Our bonds begin to subside
the thought of being alone
With no love in my life

The thought of being alone
Makes me paralyzed

And at that moment in time
Distraught by your sacrifice

My world was wilting
The colors fading away

[guitar solo]

I would give anything to hear those three words again

You pled “be strong”
But how can I
when you were my strength?
Tell me how can I?

I lied
and said it’s for the best
but we both know that it’s not

[guitar solo]

Your eyes forsaken
You’re not who you used to be

You gave it all to make things right
your choice is crushing me

I won’t forget you
Stolen time will never tell

I feel so selfish, but
This is our last farewell

I keep on grasping at your ashes
I can’t believe it’s over and done with

It fell apart so imperfect
They should have took me instead, was I not worth it?

It’s so imperfect
It wasn’t worth it

(blegh)
