Crash And Burn

(album: The Fear Of Letting Go - 2023)

Crash and burn

Crash and burn
It's all I've earned
So much expected of me
Something I never will be

Still I have nightmares from that day
The sound of metal crushing in on me
The cries, the lies
The worry life was passing by
I can still taste the fear I felt

Burning out like a candle
No way to lead us
Crashing down just like a castle
Nothing can bring us back our hope

This is a fracture in time
That isolates two different truths (two different truths)
One shows me victimized
One shows me leaving you behind

Cut out, remove the chains and set me free
Shut down, enslaved to the pain inflicting me
I would rather entomb every memory of you
Instead of digging from the past I'll fucking bury you

Burning out like a candle
No way to lead us
Crashing down just like a castle
Nothing can bring us back our hope

Reaching down deep inside
No idea what I'd find
The dream is over
You crossed the fucking line

Chaos ensues
There's always so much more to lose
Chaos ensues
Just when I felt I was breaking through
A lifetime of want
Summed up with everything gone

No remorse
You never even said you were fucking sorry
You piece of shit
Now it's too late
