Lyrics

You will give up, you always do

And time won't let you follow through, your weakness has shown

And now you're everything they've thrown at you

You knew the tide was coming, you cast yourself adrift

You burned your empty words, and fucked it up again

Now the colors drain like blood down the canvas you abandoned

And shadows hide the words you replace with excuses

But excuses lose their weight when you're forced into a corner

And the one you once believed in has left you there alone

Now, what can you show for all the dreams you trampled on?

Now, how does it feel when everything you had is gone?

Now, what can you say for the life you fought so hard to live?

Now, how does it feel? Now, how does it feel?

How can you walk away when this was everything you wanted?

Now, how can you say this was nothing that you needed?

How can you fall apart in a time that is so crucial?

Now, how does it feel? Now, how does it feel?

You are too lost, you'll always be too caught up in your world to see

Reality has spoken, and you've turned the other way

You'll always have a reason to deny what you've destroyed

You burned your acid words and left it all behind

Now the reasons fall like cinders from the fire you avoided

And whispers shun the failures you tried so hard to hide

But whispers lose their trust when you're lost and apathetic

And the one you once believed in is a total fucking loss

Now, what can you show for all the dreams you trampled on?

Now, how does it feel when everything you had is gone?

Now, what can you say for the life you fought so hard to live?

Now, how does it feel? Now, how does it feel?

How can you walk away when this was everything you wanted?

Now, how can you say this was nothing that you needed?

How can you fall apart in a time that is so crucial?

Now, how does it feel? Now, how does it feel?

Now, what can you show

For all the dreams you trampled on?

Now, what can you show

When everything you had is gone?

Now, what can you show for all the dreams you trampled on?

Now, how does it feel when everything you had is gone?

Now, what can you say for the life you fought so hard to live?

Now, how does it feel? Now, how does it feel?

How can you walk away when this was everything you wanted?

Now, how can you say this was nothing that you needed?

How can you fall apart in a time that is so crucial?

Now, how does it feel? Now, how does it feel?

Now, what can you show?
