"The Settlement"

Until death, used to mean something more

Than a proverb framed on the walls of a broken

home

Closed doors can only hide so much

Pacing through this hallway, I listen in disgust

As you divide my mind and force my years into

minutes

Destroy the hands of time, the hands that made me

whole

What if I become a silhouette of this very same

thing

Then everything you taught me seems to start

fading

Oh how am I now to survive as a heart divided

Between the very hands that made me whole

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of

your time

Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made

you blind

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of

your time

Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made

you blind

You can only forgive so much

Before you give up because there's no trust

At least you tried and that's just fine

But how the hell do I know I'm not next in line

It's not my fault, then why am I in the middle of

this burning bridge

Tell me oh how am I now to survive as a heart

divided

Between the very hands that made me whole

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of

your time

Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made

you blind

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of

your time

Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made

you blind

I am the one who suffers from your bullshit, I'm

the one who suffers

My world divided, by the hands that made me

whole

Issues made this song for kids/teens with divorced parents. I literally loved it the moment they perfomed it at the concert. It was kind of sad when he asked "how many people have divorced parents? Raise your hands." and everyone's hand went up including mines and my friends.

Kind of a shame that things don't always last.
