⸠i was left to my own devices.
⸠many days fell away with nothing to show.
⸠but if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
⸠if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
⸠how am i gonna be an optimist about this?
⸠we were caught up and lost in all of our vices.
⸠where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
⸠these are the things we lost in the fire.
⸠we sat and made a list of all the things that we had.
⸠i was the match and you were the rock. maybe we started this fire.
⸠we were born with nothing and we sure as hell have nothing now.
⸠do you understand that we will never be the same again?
⸠the future's in our hands.
⸠i don't wanna talk about it.
⸠you said you always had my back.
⸠these little things define you forever.
⸠all this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
⸠if we're only ever looking back, we will drive ourselves insane.
⸠as the friendship goes, resentment grows.
⸠we will walk our different ways.
⸠i don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore.
⸠these words are all we have.
⸠we'll be talking.
⸠you lean towards despair. any given opportunity you're there.
⸠what is there to gain when you're always falling off the fence that way?
⸠i don't want them.
⸠they pull me back and i surrender to the memories i run from.
⸠we have paved these streets with moments of defeat.
⸠i won't show my face here anymore.
⸠in my mind, it's like you haunt these streets.
⸠passing through, i think i see you in the shapes of other women.
⸠all that's left behind is a shadow on my mind.
⸠a shadow cast upon the wall is a silhouette and nothing more.
⸠all that you desired when you were a child was to be old. now that you are here, suddenly you fear you've lost control.
⸠do you like the person you've become?
⸠look who's digging their own grave.
⸠you'll drink yourself to death.
⸠look who makes their own bed lies right down within it and what will you have left?
⸠icarus is flying too close to the sun and icarus' life, it has only just begun.
⸠it scares me half to death.
⸠look out to the future but it tells you nothing so take another breath.
⸠you put up your defences when you leave. you leave because you're certain of who you want to be.
⸠when oblivion is calling out your name, you always take it further than i ever can.
⸠when you play it hard and i try to follow you there, it's not about control but i turn back when i see where you go.
⸠are you going to leave a path to trace?
⸠when all of your flaws and all of my flaws are laid out one by one, we pick ourselves undone.
⸠there's a hole in my soul, i can't fill it.
⸠you have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve and i have always buried them deep beneath the ground.
⸠dig them up, let's finish what we started.
⸠all of your flaws and all of my flaws, when they have been exhumed we'll see that we need them to be who we are. without them, we'd be doomed.
⸠look at the wonderful mess that we made.
⸠you thought the lions were bad. well, they tried to kill my brothers.
⸠for every king that died, they would crown another.
⸠it's harder than you think telling dreams from one another.
⸠felled in the night by the ones you think you love, they will come for you.
⸠oh, to see what it means to be free of the shackles and the dream that you claim to see.
⸠the night was all you had.
⸠you ran into the night from all you had.
⸠you ran into the night, you can't be found.
⸠this is your heart. can you feel it?
⸠what a year and what a night, what terrifying final sights.
⸠how am i gonna get myself back home?
⸠we are the last people standing at the end of the night.
⸠we are the greatest pretenders.
⸠this is just another night and we've had many of them.
⸠the birds are mocking me.
⸠there's an albatross around your neck, all the things you've said and the things you've done. can you carry it with no regrets?
⸠can you stand the person you've become?
