lyrics

I wrote this song because I need a little therapy for free
Face the facts that have come to pass
Clean the slate and drop the dead weight
Cause I don’t think I’ve never had the time
I’ve learned to just react
Every time I’m on the edge of a breakthrough

The bulb just popped inside my head
I see the light in total darkness
The gray matter sprayed against the wall
And I will do my best to reconnect receptors neural filament
Add color to the cold and lifeless eyes

And bear witness as I pull the plug on
Constraints and anchors
It won’t take long
To pick up the pieces and say

I will be the best memory that you fuck up
It’s just my luck
You’ve ripped me from the inside
Save me from your history
‘Cause I don’t want to hear it anymore

Look into your broken past
Like the thought of me would mend those cracks
Falling through a few years back the truth
Did you really think you’d keep your secret
And all this time I thought I knew you

So I was wrong about you
Does that mean I have to suffer
I guess this is goodbye to what we had
I guess this is goodbye

And bear witness as I pull the plug on
Constraints and anchors it won’t take long
to pick up the pieces and say

New beginnings start from an ending
What doesn’t kill us will only make us stronger
I made a promise to myself to never forget….never forget

I will be the best memory that you Fuck up
It’s just my luck
You’ve ripped me from the inside
Save me from your history
‘Cause I don’t want to hear it anymore
It’s the same old story
