lyrics

Will I never see the sun again? It seems you've grown content with the distance. Still, you insist this was never meant for me. It was never meant to be. A reminder of my self-fulfilling defeat. Always waiting to come apart. Can't you just follow your heart? Always reaching for all that you've lost, instead of holding on to all that you've got. And now the last of light and life alike have taken flight across the sand and sea, but these city streets still cling to aging memories, unresolved and incomplete. I saw the light leave your eyes. So far away. So distant. So bright. And when the last of the sunlight has withdrawn from the coast, it reminds you that you've always been alone. Although you're always on your own, there's always something left to lose. I felt the emptiness creeping up inside my skin and I saw the hopelessness behind your eyes. It follows me everywhere. It dictates all the choices I have made, and ever since that day, I find no comfort in this place... so I just keep pushing the world away. I may feel it burning bright off in the distance every now and then, but I'll never see the sun again. I never meant to push the world away, but it's left me all the same.
