Sunset

(album: Henge - 2023)

I've come too far
To hit the brakes
Right from the start
We ghost ride my fate
You took the chance
You knew the stakes
Life in your hands
Too hard to shake
No room for curves
A road so straight
How could I learn?
There's no escape
No room for squares
This house of pain
There's too much dirt
To clean the slate
Yeah

I've been looking for a keeper that could set me free
And your light is like a beacon I will never see
Killed the flame, I'm diving deeper in the darkness
Burned every bridge, now there's nothing left to spark it

I've been looking for a keeper that could set me free
And your light is like a beacon I will never see
Killed the flame, I'm diving deeper in the darkness
Burned every bridge, now there's nothing left to spark it

You've been searching for somebody that you used to know
Behind the curtain was a part of me I used for show
I've been working on a one-man act
Now every single night, an opportunity to act out
We said forever, but we never set the place or time
I got lost so early on, it wasn't worth the try
Not a soul behind my eyes, you'd like to see the other side of me
But you could hardly bare—

And by the way you were holding it down, it's hard to leave
And by the way of my head in the clouds, it's hard to see
But by the wayside, we fell by the wayside
Into the divide, the divide
And by the way you were holding it down, it's hard to leave
And by the way of my head in the clouds, it's hard to see
But by the wayside, we fell by the wayside
Into the divide, the divide

I took the time to try it
Lean in and learn from my mistakes
But when I look back, they're all sane
For a problem child
Down on all their luck
All the while
We needed more than love and the setting sun

I've come too far
Too far
