we spent this year at sea
we lived the ups and downs
that come with putting trust
in any living thing
it took us this long
to finally discover that
our maps can only lead us
to places we've already been
i've always heard that
the captain goes down with the ship
but how do i know if i'm sinking too quick?
i'm lost on an ocean
she's beautiful but rougher than anything
sometimes this world gets the best of me
i think that i'm wearing thin
i've never felt so alone
having no one to guide me
if this place is my home
why is there nothing inside me?
life moves on,
with or without us it seems
we can only hope to find the answers
before we lose sight of what we seek

brick by brick you tore this down
you lied and told me that the world was ending
i should have known that you were just inventing
any lie to keep me hooked,
the promises and how you took
everything from me
i should have seen it coming
it's like even after all this time,
we grew apart now you and i
act just like strangers
but what's stranger is that i can't shake you
it's not like i hate you
i was given every opportunity
i squandered every one on you and me
if you had not been so cold,
i'd still have life in these bones
it's a shame that we're wasting away
like night fades to day,
we're wasting away

you've changed, i know i've changed too
i'd be lying if i said that i've been better off, that i grew
in time our hearts burn out
the fire inside becomes cold and deprived
and it hurts to be cared about
words hurt, i know mine did too
but there are no words to describe
how much i wanted to hurt you
you left me alone and scared
unable to cope, because i was so broke
by the feeling of despair
so let me down easy
you've let me down enough
i know i promised to move on
to move on is not that simple
i tried my best to let it rest
but if you insist that we can't be friends,
this is how the story ends:
two strangers, once lovers

this house is haunted by the ghosts
of everyone i've ever let down
some live in the closet
but two are sleeping in my parents' room right now
it always happens that
the apple never falls far from the tree
but once it's free, it's free
i can't stay and disappoint anyone else
it may be home but it's starting to feel like hell
maybe i broke the backs of the people that carried me
i could've carried myself
i'll start planning my escape
but maybe it's too late.
