lyrics

My voice is splitting from yelling back
To years ago where your head is at
Dwelling on the past you're stranded unaware

That you’re trying to rebuild a castle made out of sand
If you hold on to the past too tight it slips through your hands

Throwing ink on a portrait you painted
That wasn’t perfectly shaded
After all yesterday did
Not mean much and in the end
We’re shaking
Pressure overtaking
Tension Building
On the verge of breaking

Like a rubber band that stretched too far
Double wrapped around the cards
Holding them together but tearing apart
Looking for a life you left back at the start
Knowing it’s impossible but too hard to find
Cuz even all the statues will change over time
So stop staring back at the pictures you took
They’re developed and gone
I’m tearing a page out of your boo

I’m noooooooo good for you now
All I do is pull you down
