the place i feel safest

the secrets that we keep

they don't do justice to our good deeds

this feeling i can't shake

that i can't be heard

why does this darkness feel so familiar?

as i begin to breathe

i awake to a new direction

this overwhelming sadness that won't leave

stay strong

stand tall

i'm here for you

all words that fall short of healing the wounds

this distant doom

there's nothing here for me

no greatness to achieve

you can't get over it

just suppress

then count the days until the feeling comes back again

i've got this feeling

this shortness of breathing

i've got the courage but don't have the meaning

i lose in love

i lose in life

these walls built to protect

me cause my disconnect

i set the course; opening the same doors i have before

i've pushed you so far away

i can't make up this space

looking in the same goddamn mirror every night

i stare and wonder why i can't fight

you're to be held

not to be missed

you've shown the greatest love i've ever witnessed

i hope you get the life you see in your dreams

even if it's not including me

the secrets that we keep

they don't do justice to our good deeds

this feeling i can't shake

that i can't be heard

why does this darkness feel so familiar?

i want it back. i miss the bond of our skin

i miss the touch of your hand

i want it back

i want it back

and i want it bad

i can't shake

i can't shake

i can't shake this

far away from the place i feel safest

i'm reaching out as i watch you leave

you're abandoning me

you're abandoning me

you can't undo every word you've muttered out of turn

you've been conditioned to hate

some things can't be unlearned

wrong; you're condemned and fit to be misled

this can't be dead

this can't be dead
