lyrics

In this crowded basement, we speak with compassion and open arms. In this crowded basement, we speak with conviction and heavy hearts. Is it always out of reach? Every word that we spoke? Every chord? Every note? Every memory... always (out of reach.) Scattered to the wind. Unable to rescind. Is it always out of reach? What's dead is never gone if you refuse to let it leave. All of this time, this has survived by our will alone. What's dead is never gone if you refuse to let it go. But what we had could never last. I should leave it in the past and let it go. How can you truly feel alive when your whole life has been defined by all the things you've left behind? And I refuse to follow suit. I refuse to find a substitute for anyone who leaves. I keep the feeling on repeat until it becomes a part of me. Another photograph that you've captured in a frame. It was never meant to stay, but I'd do anything to keep it... all the same. I refuse. This will never fade away. Every chord. Every note. Every memory. Give me something to believe, anything to convince me that this isn't always out of reach. Is it always? Is it always? Is it always out of reach? Is this always out of reach? This will never fade away. Was there something that we missed? Something we could never fix? Was it lost somewhere along the way? Here, then gone, without a trace? Buried under bridges and debris? Did it take the best of me and leave the rest of me to face the world alone?
