Older Days

They keep saying brighter days are coming

But the mist is getting thicker and thicker as I'm fading away

Twenty-eight, still going through changes

Getting lost in the process three or four times a year

Feelings aside, I've made a deal with the devil

Told me life down there could be beautiful

Feeling the high, feeling the heat

Maybe this is where I've always wanted to be

So let's sink

Take me back to older days

'Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same

Here's my love letter, dear evil within

I'm gonna tell you something

Dishonest to myself, designer of my own coffin

Strolling 'round the block like I know what I'm doing

Still not afraid of dying, yet I'm afraid to live

Scared of the dark but I thrive in the darkest places

At the deepest of my heart, I know I went too far

It's a one-way now, there's no turning back

No longer the man I was, taking off the mask

Acting like a wolf but I'm just a rat

Take me back to older days

'Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same

Linger on nothing, dust in the wind

Still, the song remains the same

It's bittersweet how I can't seem to change

Here's my love letter, dear evil within

There's no dawn without dusk

Something's taking over me, Jekyll and Hyde

Not enough room in this body for both you and I

Between day and night, always split in half

Hiding in the shadow so I can't be found

Take me back to older days

'Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same

Linger on nothing, dust in the wind

Still, the song remains the same

It's bittersweet how I can't seem to change

Here's my love letter, dear evil within

There's no dawn without dusk

No birth without death, peace without war

There's no me without you

Brain dead insect, barely kept alive by its parasite

Makes me wish I'd never been alive

Saw me in half, rip off the vice

Take me back

Take me back to older days

'Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same

Here's my love letter, dear evil within
