lyrics

burnt out a light
left in my head
emotionally spent
on things being different
burning out or burning up just to forget (or at least pretend)

this reality of mine, it once stood steady
was I too blind?
eyes muddled with disconnection?
denial and decay (MY FATE)
if I refuse to ever see past yesterday (TODAY)

all I wanna be is close to a person that I was before
all I wanna be is self reliant

every time I go outside it fucking rains
it pours on me
something I can’t explain
i could stack up the reasons, so insincere,
to build a throne atop a self-sophistic belvedere (belvedere)

i hate to stray from things I know I want to say
so why can’t I, find the means to continue (continue)
onto the point I’d never get to

ON MY OWN

well I can’t pretend (I CAN'T)
i couldn’t begin to
accept the things (ACCEPT) I’ve feared and swore to forget
won’t realize what holds me back is holding on (to regret)

all I wanna be is close to a person that I was before
all I wanna be is self reliant
all I wanna be is close to a person that I was before
all I wanna be is self reliant

every time I go outside it fucking rains
it pours on me
something I can’t explain
i could stack up the reasons
so insincere
to build a throne atop a self-sophistic belvedere (belvedere)

i just hope to find a life for me that’s figured out (figured out)
one where I’m truly happy
my feet on the ground

I JUST HOPE TO FIND A LIFE FOR ME THAT'S FIGURED OUT
ONE WHERE I'M TRULY HAPPY
MY FEET ON THE GROUND
