A misstep
Misplace all the thoughts that live in your head
A night spent in the darkness
A night spent to run from panic while you wake the dead
You envy them
While you soar from a vine to feel the sense of an ultimate free
Two hands push the tire swing
There's an honesty in hating all that's not
And, god, I tried
To gather all the pieces you took
If every branch is a limb I guess the storm ripped your body apart
Found no ignition to start
Just a broken key and a weak now to every strong
Do you numb like we do?
Is humanity a symptom of the same disease?
Do you regret what you made?
Put the harm on us 'cause you can't be saved
When you see the bloodshed,
Do you dismiss it as reality reeling a cold head?
Cold shoulder to the world
You won't shoulder all the blame
All this as a way to say "I'm sorry"
For leaving just like everyone else
I have to come to terms with it
When I needed you my closed palms trembled all alone like the halls inside your home
You swing away from all the blame and reframe to seem so innocent
What of your kids? I'm perfect for being born in sin
Do you regret what you made?
Put the harm on us 'cause you can't be saved
When you see the bloodshed,
Do you dismiss it as reality reeling a cold head?
Cold shoulder to the world
You won't shoulder all the blame
All this as a way to say "I'm sorry"
For leaving just like everyone else
