Our secrets are what we've bled
and all of these shadows
are echos of what we've said
now the clock is ticking
I can hear its whispers
sketching time across my eyes
like I've lived too many lives
but here I am
its amazing to see
how far I've come
how far we've come
falling so far
we've forgotten the way up
but here we are
I've got a new secret
I've been thinking about
maybe this rainsoaked sidewalk will get me lost
but at least it leads me out
is it okay if I just leave?
To wash everything out of my mind
if I tell you thats all I need?
History-that's what time is
my footprints have left scars on my mind
they whisper memories from behind
me
I mean- I lied
no- not behind me
not my memories
its right now that wont set me free
oh, but if you want another shadow
a secret, an echo
then honestly
I need something
to make me want to stay
just a moment in time
a secret place
all of these shadows are frozen in time
outlining the secrets
I dont want to leave behind
and all of these echos
are fragments of my song
but is it okay if I just leave?
to wash everything out of my mind
if I lie and say thats all I need
