Have we been blinded by the sights you sought to see?
Or maybe, buried underneath a vision;
The person you thought you could make us be.
The foresight of our life, caught between a rock and a hard place, it leaves a bitter taste
Of tongue tied words you spoke in vain,
We hear nothing, nothing but promises.

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
Alone you'll never make it, Forever forced to fake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

Are you happy? Do you hear me?
Did you feel our hearts breaking slowly?
Maybe all you care for is all you see
Shut our hope in a bottle and cast to sea
Its perceptions, of what could've been, what might've been, what should've been
Through these veins, out the pen
Stain the canvas every night
Id be lying if I said I'm fine somewhat
Its hard to breathe, its hard to breathe when it's tight sealed shut.

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
Alone you'll never make it, Forever forced to fake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

The foresight of our life, caught between a rock and a hard place, it leaves a bitter taste
Of sorry slipping through your teeth and I know that you know that
Id be lying if I said Im fine somewhat I'm breaking free, today you'll see
That your words weren't enough.

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
Alone you'll never make it, Forever forced to fake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
