Circle Of Friends

(album: Separation - 2019)

Too afraid to stay, too much of a coward to leave
These apparitions in my mind won't let go of me
I can't see the forest through the trees
Everything feels like its burning inside of me

My convictions have always haunted me
Like the ghost of an empty house
I can't shake this emptiness
The undead stay trapped behind my mouth

This is the last time that I'll say to you
"Your words only weight so much"
But I'll keep it fast, cause the irony has lost its touch
But I can't shake this feeling, I'm too far gone
I'm wrong and going nowhere
Who am I to hate my past?
Hollow hearts weren't meant to last

Because now, I see that everything's been wrong
Just because of me
Have these thoughts, these unclear demons
Torn inside me from the start
I only seem to like myself
When I hold a heavy heart
Self-righteous, self-loathing
You're a self-depreciating cynic
There's something wrong
I just can't put my finger on it

I know you know, that I don't know
But I know that you can feel it
There's something haunting in your eyes
You're something I hope to God
That I wish that I could forget

I want to say I'm sorry
I don't feel the same way that you do
I'm haunted more by my own sins
Than I could ever be by the ghost of you

This is the last time that I'll say to you
"Your words only weight so much"
But I'll keep it fast, cause the irony has lost its touch
But I can't shake this feeling, I'm too far gone
I'm wrong and going nowhere
Who am I to hate my past?
Hollow hearts weren't meant to last
