I am not the man I once aspired to be But I live with that just like I live with everything A false smile to cover half my face from those who revel in righteousness And a shadow of myself to hide all of the rest The splits, the breaks The tremors and shakes Grasp like a hand They swallow the land Inscription hear me as the depths Are drawing near to me they're all that I can see And when I held my breath and closed my eyes For a moment it felt like home The world is a smaller place than when I was young But I still can’t seem to figure it out It makes less sense now than it did then somehow And my conscience has turned inside out My conscience has burned out But I love regression like I love myself On again and off again and at all of the worst times In again and out again like I’ve been left behind I can’t be happy that it’s over, just sorry that it ever happened Inscription hear me as the depths Are drawing near to me they're all that I can see And when I held my breath and closed my eyes For a moment it felt like home Take me home This is farewell This is farewell My story may end here The road may disappear But all is not lost if we bear the cost But all is not lost if we bear the cost
