softer spoken

when words are softer spoken

they often sound the best

but now so interwoven

they burn in my chest

i'm all used up and out of steam

vacationing somewhere in between

a city named catharsis

and the other cold empty

in one i feel so common

in the other i am royalty

i'm seeking out a place

one to give me peace

and everything between

i'm seeking out a place

one to give me peace

'cause ever since you died

i can't control anything

everything feels numb

built from catastrophe

just when i get a hold

it slips away from me

i've always relied on melody

i've come to rely on love

but there's an absence in my heart

when i know i have enough
