Hanmer Street - Ebonivory

I broke myself

I want my old life back

I lost my sense of purpose

You tell me

You tell me I’m wrong

I find comfort in the selfishness

Of the things we ask ourselves

I find comfort in the uncertainty

That we might be dead

Or might be waking up

Time will tell

If this dream is just life as well

Time will tell, time will tell

I can’t seem to ignore all the signs

Are you waiting to come back to us?

I could not believe it all this time

All I wanted was someone to know

So I lie awake know I lie to myself

Break the cycle

I don’t want to live in a life that aches

For lies we aim to hide

A life that goes on

A darkness that grows

Forget not what’s there

You’re begging me not to forget

You’ve been asking me

When I’ll find what is missing

I’ve tried

I’m trying so hard to forget

The scenes that repeat in my head

There’s things I’ve seen I’ve never said

But I’d rather they kill me instead

'Cause it’s so far away;

The love and the praise

The promises that I was fed

As the paint dries

And the grass dies

Are you waiting to come back to us?

I want my old life back

I lost my sense of purpose

You tell me

You tell me I’m wrong

I find comfort in the selfishness

Of the things we ask ourselves

I find comfort in the uncertainty

That we might be dead

Or might be waking up
