What We Gave Away Lyrics

What we gave away

I hate to hesitate

But in the light I paint

Brushstrokes into

Birds of prey

And a common place

Where the monsters we'd create

Worked alone to make

A barren landscape

We paved

Where nothing can survive

In the eye of the storm

And we're barely alive

Killing kindness with the norm

Dreams are coming true

Staying true to a form

It's another day

In black and gray

What we gave away

The characters we portrayed

Riddled with decay

Who'd expect us to be bothered to save?

So we dug the graves

And side by side they lay

Still just a day

'Til a visit from

New you and me

Nothing freezes time

Like we froze it before

Nothing says goodbye

Like you laying on my floor

I'll keep you in mind

As I'm spiraling towards

Another day we gave away

You lost me

When you disappeared

And I lost you

Year after year

You lost me

When you disappeared

And I lost you
