But I'm clasping at the past and its contents
The notes and keys that filled the moments
The strings and chords that beat the rhythm in the song
And the final words that made it worth it all along
But gazing into the future brings a sting
That sustains the pain that my mistakes can bring
And the knowledge of the mistakes I've yet to make
Bring a chance and a choice that I've got to take
But these days wasted and nights without sleep
Cause me to stumble upon fears that run so deep
Intertwined throughout my heart like vines of a tree
And the breaking of them would be the breaking of me
But the feelings that lurk in the air
The thoughts and expressions swimming through space
The masks and disguises that I choose to wear
Take another stake and tap it right into place
And all the photographs and inside joke lines
Made every single second worth every single day
And all the facial expressions and spoken words created signs
Of these days and how so tight they would be packed and placed away
But these days wasted and nights without sleep
Cause me to stumble upon fears that run so deep
Intertwined throughout my heart like vines of a tree
And the breaking of them would be the breaking of me
So careful where you place your hat
Careful where you place your hands
Cause if you secure in the wrong place
You securing mines into desert lands
