Expiate

The miles I've traveled now seem like withered time

Fixated on the rear view when I can't see ahead

For me to view a reflection without corruption

So a past won't dictate a present

Months pass, sitting still, thinking in this box

Where my thoughts are not friendly nor hopeful

This weak mind and body crumble

Who we were will never be the same

We'll never relive the feeling

Love we made, we let it slip away

And I just can't face it

I can feel it coming on, living inside

Calling me right back to you

My regret meets no resistance

And I endorse this torment to feel

If you exhaust a heart of love

Is the pumping of blood still enough?

Do the limbs go numb?

Who we were will never be the same

We'll never relive the feeling

Love we made, we let it slip away

And I just can't face it

Who we were will never be the same

We'll never relive the feeling

Love we made, we let it slip away

And I just can't face it

My fictional friend, conducting me piece by piece

I feel your cold blank stare cast on me

I don't ask to be mended

Just understand my words and hear me out

All the passion has faded

All the fire has burned out

How could I see it coming?

This electrifying high that we would grow to resent

I can feel it coming on, living inside

Calling me right back to you
