Take Me First

(album: THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND - 2022)

It's too late to turn back now
Oh God, I tried but I don't know how

I want to be someone you used to hate, without the memory of the pain
I went too far, now we can't restart
It's like we cut the brakes, tore 'em off the car
Ninety miles inside the dark, familiar scars, and electric hearts

I know I'm gonna die in this bed I made
And I'm drowning in a dream that I can't escape
If I could wake up I'd hesitate

But it's too late to turn back now
Oh God, I tried but I don't know how
If I could escape it
I'd trade in the blame, you can take it
If it doesn't take me first
If it doesn't take me first

I lie to myself like it's not too late
Convinced the past can still be changed
We know it's gone, but I can't move on
I want to rewind, but it just replays
Jumping on a hand grenade
But it won't go off, no, it won't go off

But it's too late to turn back now
Oh God, I tried but I don't know how
If I could escape it
I'd trade in the blame, you can take it
If it doesn't take me first

Know I'm gonna die in this bed I made
And I'm drowning in a dream that I can't escape
If I could wake up I'd

But it's too late to turn back now
Oh God, I tried but I don't know how
If I could escape it
I'd trade in the blame, you can take it
If it doesn't take me first
If it doesn't take me first
