lyrics

The mirror's getting uglier
I have to stomach what I see
A wretched reminder
Of who I've devolved to be

I keep my dreams to myself
There's no point in sharing
I don't want you to see this heartfelt
Promise I'll be breaking

These breezes of memories
Collide with my heartstrings
Composing a destructive masterpiece
Until all my will has gone extinct

A barrage of failures and hurricanes
Pummel the beaches of my soul
The horizon looks black from disdain
Yet burns me one hundred fold

The tide is rising
higher and higher
The engulfing of my past,
a constant reminder
A lifetime of hoping
things would work out
Has drifted away
look where I am now

Through dwelling, i'm swelling
My dreams are compelling
But wasted on nothing
I wouldn't believe in me either

My past is romantic
Can you hear the joy, the screams?
My present mind is dramatic
Cause I'm haunted by my dreams

heart stays fixated on the past
eyes gaze forward to what's yet to pass
What I wouldn't do to escape this fear
Anything to get away from here

I'm just so tired
I'm going to lay down
And maybe find a state
to drown out all of these sounds

I am wasted potential
Lack the credentials
To take my place amongst
the influential

Keep my goals confidential
My shame is essential
The sting of failure is
exponential

I'm flaky, I cancel, Hurt more with each candle
My efforts I find are insubstantial

It's all consequential, I sulk and I tremble
I'm wasted potential, I'm wasted potential
