lyrics

Chemicals mixing in my head when I spent summer days back in '08 with best friends.
Picture frames littered all around like cut ties.
This canvas isn't spotless anymore.
Bones are weak and bruised and sore.
Longing for these pages in my head to open up and be re-read but never again. Concrete lies over where life once grew.
Empty chairs fill my house with long goodbyes.
This canvas isn't spotless anymore.
Bones are weak and bruised and sore. Longing for these pages in my head to open up and re-read but never again.
Wasting time whilst wishing for long lost friends.
I'm selfless in my skin but I know that it's just fine.
I'm bleeding from my skin but I know that it's just fine.
It scratches on my chin and I know that it's just me.
I'm selfless in my skin when I know that it's not fine.
