lyrics

With your shoes worn down
And a constant rumble below
We can't slow down now
Because if we do
We'll only be trapped by the cold
And as everything crashes around us
Will it make a sound?

Cause I hear everything
With each tick growing louder
The clock comes unstrung

How could you just watch me walk away
Knowing you're sending your own blood spiraling?
Days turn to weeks
Wounds turn to scars
I wonder if you even thought of really how far they'll go
On their own.

Who would have known?
They'll show everyone
It doesn't matter where you call home.
All that matters is the time you took
to prove them wrong.
Because we know
they were empty all along.

And with this loss
I gain a strength
A better love for the scenery
And when I plant my feet
I know no one is trying
To keep a lock on me

We take it day by day,
and let them steal every breath,
But I won't ever let them know that I have
Nothing left
(I don't mind this constant stress
Because it keeps me distracted from
This overwhelming mess
And in the end
It'll be all worth it)

I've wandered these streets for far too long,
and maybe they were right,
I wont ever become what I long to be,
but just maybe,
I'll show this whole world
that they wont ever get rid of me.
