lyrics

We swore to ourselves it’d never be this way
Never become just another name
But the lights became too bright to ignore
Now we’re just a cruel pawn in someone else’s game

But stories never felt so sweet
Lost among the phony elite
Things were never quite as complete
As they were when we were drowning

Trying not to think about when the lights go out
But here we are, standing
Our wings will never melt, the darkness can’t destroy them
And if they do, we’ll have a landing

Of course it eats us alive
Of course we’re dying inside
But it feels so heavenly
When all we have to do is hide, hide, hide, hide

But the mornings after seem endless
And so is the fear of the inevitable end
So we take comfort in the coldness
Grab onto the fleeting covers of worthless friends

When the lights fade away
What is left but darkness?
When the lights have faded from our eyes
What is left but the tangled mess
Of loneliness?
And heartlessness?

These are the nights we write songs about
These are the days that float in and out of our minds
When the stories have faded out
What will you remember us by?
