lyrics

With every passing moment
I am but a shift in time/
Reading lines of my own diction/
Exposing all that's inside/
The entirety of my actions
are but a transparent facade/
They serve as futile distractions
Clearing the choice of what to discard/

Whenever I look into you/
I'm only looking into myself/

They say I'll only be feeling better/
If only they knew what it's like/
You said you'd follow me until the end/
The end came too soon/
Every day's the same ritual/
However many masks it wears/
I'll never again assail your thoughts/
My heart is left a bloody mess/

Whenever I look into you/
I'm only looking into myself/

A heart for two is but an even cut/
One I'm just not willing to make/
So I keep it all to myself/
Protecting us for all our sakes/
I won't pretend that this didn't happen
nor will I lie about this to my friends/
But I must keep moving forward/
I've no more feelings left to pretend/

Whenever I look into you/
I'm only looking into memory/

They have their place marked and pointed
So there may be no mistake/
Here, just stand here, both my darlings/
You'll find peace when you awaken/
An empty box lies between them/
One that neither one holds the key/
They best not waste their time searching/
Each piece is worth more than they are/

Time
no longer has
any hold
on my actions/
