This struggle plays itself out in my head
as a prequel to the battle before us
the stakes are higher this time
recounting second chances
realizing there isn't room for them here
so exhale hard because it only counts once
unsure of myself and that's the thing that tastes worse
I can't take this vile breathing
i can't stand this tired ritual
i can't stand your cold eyes
My indecisions weigh heavily these days
so forget the words that i've said
because for once it's about the things i didn't say
don't you see how i'm selling our heroes short?
I'm not strong enough to carry this alone
this weight has pressed me down for too long
a release is something im searching for
I hold my own freedom but the keys eroded away into sand
We're nothing short of perfect
but we don't understand anything but force
i guess the scars speak for themselves
we hit the scene with such high hopes
now we just have second hand remains
