To Dream, To Forget

Fear that I've been blind

And I'm the reason why

I search for cracks in the divine

And any hope I find

I can't see I've crossed the line

I push past it every time

Fear that the next time I close my eyes

They'll never open again

I'm being buried alive by the weight of my mind

I'm just a shell of my former self

I fight for salvation, my punishment wavered

I would've burned, if I knew I'd learn

I'm running and running, I know they're still coming, I'm right here

To dream, to forget

Why did you never look for me?

We're severed

To dream, to forget

Sat with the fear that I've been blind

I'm the reason why

I search for cracks in the divine

And any hope I find

I keep running from, and I

I can't see I've crossed a line

I push past it every time

Fear that the next time I close my eyes

They'll never open again

Feeling sick and tired of the wasted

Trying to make sense

Starting fires to see the smoke

Dealing with the lies, with the intent

Feeling incensed

You cut the wires, I fall below

It's hard enough

That you say love, it is a weakness

Makes you careless now

Hard enough

So, who is it you're trying to impress?

'Cause honestly

I never needed a push in the right direction

I saw enough hatred in my reflection

The entertaining of a pointless confession

Reflecting on lessons, but we're missing the message

Sat with the fear that I've been blind

I'm the reason why

I search for cracks in the divine

And any hope I find

I keep running from, and I

I can't see I've crossed the line

I push past it every time

Fear that the next time I close my eyes

They'll never open again

So here's to hoping, or coping, and hiding fractures, you're showing

We just want to dream to forget

The fires extinguished, but the embers are glowing, yeah

I guess I'll go it alone, oh

I guess I'll go it alone

Who needs false hope?

Just forget it
