lyrics

I’ve found a way to pick things apart till they’re broken
Shattered remnants of something we used to believe in
But now I stand here looking around at the trees
Seeing memories of who I used to be
Let the leaves fall down so I can find absolution

I’m waiting for the day when the silence breaks
A thunder in the clouds makes my bones shake
I’m looking for a change of pace
maybe I’m just wired this way
Like an hourglass I see that time has passed
But I have never really made the minutes last
An ending is always near
I gotta live life without a fear

I’ve seen you tied up in ropes your entire life (You’ve been tied down, so tied down)
You’ve become accustomed to friction and hurting
and so I’ve learned to believe that being trapped is a state of mind
Nothing has to tear you down, no need for a meltdown
All this worrying leads to nothing at all

I’m waiting for the day when the silence breaks
A thunder in the clouds makes my bones shake
I’m looking for a change of pace
maybe I’m just wired this way
Like an hourglass I see that time has passed
But I have never really made the minutes last
An ending is always near
I gotta live life without a single fear

I built my roots so deep that I can’t seem to dig them up
A constant reminder, wherever I wander I always go back to the start

I built my roots so deep that I can’t seem to dig them up
A constant reminder, wherever I wander I always go back to the start
All this stability, allowed me to see
That I just need to find myself a change of scenery

I’m waiting for the day when the silence breaks
A thunder in the clouds makes my bones shake
I know I’m looking for a change of pace
but maybe I’m just wired this way
Like an hourglass I see that time has passed
But I have never really made the minutes last
Though an ending is always near
it isn’t always so clear
What matters is I made it here
living my life without these useless fears
