lyrics

This past bite of existence has been the hardest I've had to chew
Determined not to choke on it like I tend to do
There's no way out but the sun and the stars
We could try running but we wouldn't get that far

Bleed red I'll live forever I said
And the ocean, it opened and swallowed me
Waves carry all the things that you do
Red turns green, green turns blue

When I was sadder I felt more
I know less now than I did before
All and all it's plain to see
I fight with who I used to be
That's how my world began
That's how my world will end

You should probably write a letter next time
Or say a few words and I'd probably be fine
But this is now and that was before
And I love the day that you walked out the door
You said you loved me and that you cared
That didn't mean shit you weren't even there
I didn't hear you so you said it twice
And I said it back and turned out the light
