Open your eyes and let it blind you

These colors fading quicker from the world you want to see

And your resolve to just stay stagnant meant nothing to me

You fought back like you wouldn’t miss this

A far cry from the best intentions

Watch as I move on

I gave it all and you couldn’t see

The palette’s all wrong

Between who you are and who you need to be

Feel the shift in your bones

And let the aching be a lesson

I’m just so sorry I couldn’t help this

A let down in this life

I guess it’s the price we pay

Two people born of the same vein

I dreamt of triumph

But you couldn’t say the same

I pray the world won’t remember your name

I see a canvas stained

With all the words you couldn’t say

So dull and grey

I dreamt of triumph

But you couldn’t say the same

You swore that you’d never leave

Fate ripped the air from my chest

And left a fucking disease

I’ve become a menagerie of things I’d hoped you’d never see

A let down in this life

I guess it’s the price we pay

Two people born of the same vein

I dreamt of triumph

But you couldn’t say the same

I pray the world won’t remember your name
