Relics in Ruins

Your hands were always tied to a future set on your wedding day
That's not building a life, you're throwing it all away

I've lost a lot of friends this year, some to a marriage and careers
Honestly, I'm scared to death of losing the few I still have left
Falling leaves are all I've seen, I'm always stuck here in between
I wish the wind would blow us back before the snow falls over me

Where I want to be and my reality
Always share such little company

We're all hopeless romantics who base regression on your semantics
The doubtless nights, now endless lies, turn into depression
But you'll never hear me say the golden days faded away

There's a hurricane that's raged in my head
A nightmare taking place out of my bed
The winds are tearing away what I still love
I'll keep holding on with broken hands
I won't let my life deconstruct

There's comfort in the warmth of love
But I'm drawn to the cold of being alone
Stole my senses from second guesses
And left me numb to the bone
And I've finally found a place to grow

We're all hopeless romantics who base regression on your semantics
The doubtless nights, now endless lies, turn into depression
But you'll never hear me say that the golden days faded away

I never said this was easy
(You'll go on pretending)
And I don't expect you to understand
The shit that I went through
(It's what you were into)
To make this life my final stand

Trigger-happy with a loaded gun in my hand
Crosshairs aligned for that place in time
Living life for the unplanned

Good luck making history
And I'll put my two cents into building more of these memories

We're all hopeless romantics who base regression on your semantics
The doubtless nights, now endless lies, turn into depression
But you'll never hear me say the golden days faded away
