lyrics

It’s been seeming to me lately
That you don’t know me Any longer

I expected you to hate me
Because I am slowly getting farther

From the person I used to be
Who I once was is falling deeper

Into the confusion inside me
And thinking clearly is getting harder

Friction’s building between friends
Our birthday candles burn both ends
The loneliness is setting in
Is it a sin when we turn to our vices to burn it down again?


I’m still bursting out in anger
I thought it’d be better by now

Lust and love are latent landmarks
If I could leave them, just hope my car starts


I’m losing contact with my context
And life seems sacred only in past tense

The present tense is pressing weaker
As if somewhere back there there’s something sweeter

These open doors are closing in
The clarity cracks through the din
The loneliness is setting in
Is it a sin when we turn to our vices to burn it down again?
