forget and not slow down

how many times

can i push it aside

is it time i befriended all the ghosts of all the things that haunt me most

so they leave me alone

move on with my life

be certain the steps of left and right don't fight the direction of upright

i'd rather forget and not slow down

than gather regret for the things i can't change now

if i become what i can't accept

resurrect the saint from within the wretch

pour over me and wash my hands of it

it's time to decide

which is out of my mind

cause it'll be me unless i put some thoughts to rest and leave some faults behind

i'll watch the glint in my eye

shine off the spring in my step

and could be blinding depending on the amount of you that i reflect

cause i could spend my life just trying to sift through

what i could've done better but what good do what ifs do

oh oh

oh oh

there's something i should tell you now
