lyrics

Growing older as this chasm spreads between us
Time is a currency no longer spent on me
In our youth we were wide eyed and full of trust
Our faces painted with joy our life rife with belief

Powerless now against the tides of change
Our future snuffed out like a flame in the rain
And now this vessel's broken
Broken

Reminiscing about the past wont bring you back
It can't fill this hole or bridge this gap
Inevitability is just an excuse for your submission to circumstance
Aren't our memories worth making more
Isn't our history worth the chance?

Powerless now against the tides of change
Our future snuffed out like a flame in the rain
And now this vessel's broken
Broken

These are the words I never spoke
Constantly questioning my self-worth
Our friendship was once something I could trust
Yet now you're gone
(And I can't fucking breathe)
(I can't fucking breathe)
Now you're gone
(And I can't fucking breathe)
(I can't fucking breathe)
Now you're gone and I can't fucking breathe
I cannot fucking breathe
