lyrics

and well talk about it, like its no big deal
tell them exactly how I feel
even though I don't know how I feel
and all your family just looks away
carrying their mistakes
like shovels they'll use to dig their own graves

don't lose focus now
avoidable I try not to think
this paths paved over now
and its a longer road than you think

and all the portraits you were never in
the ink stayed in your pen
where your shadow was its light again

you cast a lonely spell even when theres people around
waiting for the bell I think I got another round In me

Chorus:

Should we seal the deal you cant help but feel
emotions that the ocean drags around
and I got waves around my ankles now
pushing pulling dragging me back down

I wish I was as strong as the sea
or at least stronger than me
without you this all feels so watered down

well the engines running and the lights are on
the woods chopped on the lawn
and mostly we all get along
whatever's left of you is sleeping in the strings of guitars
least ones that I play thorough I think you always knew that I'd start

didn't you

Chorus
