Do you remember when we'd walk
Down the streets and just look at the stars?
We were lost in the shadows of the night

What ever happened to those golden days?
It seems like
It was only yesterday we'd set things ablaze
But I guess
The times are changing, nothing ever will last
I just never
Thought the day's end would approach us so fast
What's up with everything these days?
How have you been, what are you doing,
Is it all still the same?
I feel like it's been years since we've even talked
It's like you don't even exist beyond a mental block

What happened back then?
Was it just jealousy?
Or was it deeper
Like my hypocrisy?

I made the blunder
And let it escalate
Like knives from a serpent's tongue
I slashed with words of hate
I didn't mean to
Let things get out of hand
But there's no return
No hope of reprimand

Remember the times you'd go through extremities just to
Get me to do the things I'd never put myself through?
It's because of you that I am right where I stand today
You've had so much influence on my life so I convey
That this is wrong
And though it's for the better
I feel so lost
I can't let this engulf me

I'm so blinded by this enveloped light
This fire burns inside
To guide my way, but I can't feel it
Oh God, have I lost myself?
Deep in this grim charade
The fire dies
This burns like capsaicin in my eyes
I sigh...

In this cell I sit and
Ponder why I let you go

I've lost all sense of myself now
But it's all right
I cannot dwell anymore
Oh, let's break this childish tension
And make amends
Oh, you must admit that we had some fun
Let's scythe these rough edges
And let the world know that

I lie alone gazing up at the stars
Times changing with every breath
I am lost in the shadows of the night
