Against The Waves (Acoustic)

I just

Need a bit of separation

I'm self-indulgent, so they say

Take a long look and watch the light

Arise in me

Though I'm far too tired to breathe

You don't

Look back on the things you did

So I won't

Take the guilt and blame for it

Take another look around

I'm a cliff against the waves

Why can't you see

This world wears me away

It drains all from me

And leaves me colored grey

I've been numb lately

Past the point of prayin'

I'm layin' alone

I'm past the point of prayin'

I'm layin' alone

Take a look back at all the things we did

The things we lived

When the world was so new and mysterious

I reminisce of all the days gone by and wasted time

We were both so young and resilient

But the clock ticks and we're all getting older

Our passions reduced to a smolder

I'm ready to live again

Done wasting time

I'm willing to make amends

Forgive myself for days in bed and sleepless nights

That I spent lifeless

Takin' steps to fix my life

I've changed, I promise

I promise

I'm soaked

Dressed in all the colors of the rain

So

I'm talking to myself just to feel sane

Waiting for the day

I won't be drenched in this

But I know

It takes so much more than blind hope

I'll make this new year better than the last

Because I'm through with living in the past

I'm ready to live again

Done wasting time

I'm willing to make amends

Forgive myself for days in bed and sleepless nights

That I spent lifeless

Takin' steps to fix my life

I've changed, I promise

I promise

I'm stained by all the thoughts of my father
