Emerald City Lyrics

Etch the memories on my brain

Watch it all fade to gray

Watch it all fading

Fear that cuts like a winter day

The whispering static, louder than everything

The static in my head is asking

Can I ever begin to change?

Weak hands grasp for something lost

Dissonance within my patchwork brain

Fade away from everything

Decaying away the symmetry

It's simple and frustrating

I'm a vision of the essence

I was once imitating

But it's just an empty remedy

I don't want to hold on to

I don't want to hold on

These words I've given meaning

But the deceit is screaming

I swear the intent was always honest

But I got caught up in what I was never promised

Failing my way to the bottom

Will I always be so absorbed in myself?

Fading further out of your heart

In the end I'll suffer the same

My own rapture

This will not end

My own rapture

This will not end

Decaying away the symmetry

I'm a vision of the essence

I once was imitating

But it's just an empty remedy

I don't want to hold on to

Decaying away the symmetry

It's simple and frustrating

I'm a vision of the essence

I was once imitating

But it's just an empty remedy

I don't want to hold on to

Will I let this be what defines?

Insecurity implied

Will I let this be what defines?

I don't want to hold on to

I won't hold on
