[Verse 1]

Hesitate

Take one misstep and you die

If you’ve been afraid

Know I’ll never turn a blind eye

Create something better every time

Make it resonate

With all the misery in my life

Sedate all the suffering inside

Let me medicate

Without a perc 10 every night

Relate every narrative to mine

You can dedicate

All your sanity and time


[Chorus]

Tension running down my spine

Storm clouds suffocate the sky

I still dream of days spent in your light

Come back to me

Come back

Shades of terror hide the sun

I’d still rather die than run

Pray my final thoughts stay with your eyes

Come back to me

Come back


[Verse 2]

Petrified in the clutches of the end

Was I meant to die?

Or just caught up in the eyewall?

Rewrite every line to recompense

Did you ever try?

Was the indecision my fault?

Survive till the wind picks up again

If they memorize

The new reprise you can die on sight

Deny any sense of discontent

Tell your weathered eyes

You can sleep when your-


[Chorus]

Tension running down my spine

Storm clouds suffocate the sky

I still dream of days spent in your light

Come back to me

Come back

Shades of terror hide the sun

I’d still rather die than run

Pray my final thoughts stay with your eyes

Come back to me

Come back to me

Come back to me

Come back


[Bridge]

I should've let this go

I kept your ghost

It left me hopeless

I hope I’m swept below

This tempest grows

My death approaches


[Verse 3 Ryan Passariello]

My death approaches now

This is how I was meant to die

A relentless tide

Dragged under the currents and left behind

Let the tempest rise

Lay waste to a miserable life


[Bridge]

Shades of terror shroud my eyes

I’d still rather drown than hide

I wish I had found your light in time


[Chorus]

Tension running down my spine

Storm clouds suffocate the sky

I still dream of days spent in your light

Come back to me

Come back

Shades of terror hide the sun

I’d still rather die than run

Pray my final thoughts stay with your eyes

Come back to me

Come back

Come back to me

Come back


[Outro]

I should've let this go

I kept your ghost

It left me hopeless

I hope I’m swept below

This tempest grows
