I need To learn
To live these moments
Instead of lamenting them
As the pass me by

My heart is consumed with bitterness
I've paid the price of separation
For every memory I've made
If only I could turn back time...

It all feels like yesterday
Yet still beyond my grasp
I carry it along with me
But it's never the same when those faces are gone

The past is always present
It's never far when I need it
But here and now just feels so empty
When the scenes replay and I lose my place

I've put my heart back in my chest
My sleeves were just getting bloody
And I've lost the courage to keep it there
When it's out in plain sight you're just a moving target

I used to know how
To live these moments, heart on sleeve
Without lamenting them
As they passed me by

But now I'm searching
For a moment
That will stay with me always
But time can fly
And I ambound to the ground by gravity

Not even purple haze
Can overcome that force
But that won't stop me from trying
