lyrics

We would stay up late
Watch for lightning amidst the rain
Then we'd wait for the thunder to roll and make us shake

Our conversations became nothing more than campfire talk
You didn't understand when I said I had a lot on my conscience
It was you who was on it, didn't say what I meant if I'm being honest

Tents once made of dreams
Forest full of scenery
Bags packed with fears
Alleviated by thievery

That memory still makes me shake
Like a storm in an earthquake
Saw the lightning dance on your face
True north discovered by the wild lake

I sat there cold and I froze even though
You and I were oh so close to the fire
My mind left my heart behind

I hated myself, my mental health,
My ghosts, and even my clothes
They'll always be stained with the scent of smoke

Tents once made of dreams
Forest full of scenery
Bags packed with fears
Alleviated by thievery

That memory still makes me shake
Like a storm in an earthquake
Saw the lightning dance on your face
True north discovered by the wild lake

(and I let you slip away)

How did I miss it?
I should've noticed
All of our plans, life simply stole them
Or maybe I'm the culprit

As those sour days crept closer
Expressions grew exceptions
No longer can I decipher or decode her

I was the wolf who got lost in suspense
Searching, vision blurring, yearning for the end
I started painting trees patiently with my vein's own shade of red

I'm coughing up blood as I choke on harsh words that I spoke
And I ache in the joints of my trembling legs from running away

Somehow your unrequited love got through to me
Past my fanged teeth

You were the moon who illuminated the city

Seasons move forward
Suddenly it's Fall and leaves turn feeble
We changed and fell apart too
No chance for another sequel

Instead I'll stay out of the fray
I won't say a single thing
Until the tension is displaced

I'm fucking sorry
