Traces

(album: Afterthoughts - 2023)

Really no time, living on borrowed time
Not until they see what you've been through
Never looked back, never went back
Such a waste of life, but who allowed you, unwound you, threw you to the ground
That now you'd choose to put them down

(They'll know who you are)
Never got time, never was given time
(Why'd you go so far)
This is what becomes of those who break
(They'll know who you are)
Never know why, never know peace of mind
(Why'd you go so far)
Traces of the ones you left around you, rounds used, lives you've run aground
The classroom, those who should be out of bounds
Confused, deep wounds, can they heal somehow
Our minds are broken and beat down

(They'll know who you are)
Nothing set right, everyone choose a side
(Why'd you go so far)
The advertising's free, and since they found you, crowned you, said your name aloud
Profound fools will want the same thing now

(Lives you've run aground)
(Should be out of bounds)
(Can they heal somehow)
(Lives you've run aground)
