The Past
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Beneath the water, that's fallen from my eyes
Lays a soul I left behind
The edge of sorrow, was reached but now I'm fine
I filled the hole I had inside
I'll pray it doesn't scream my name
So I light a flame and let it breathe
The air that kills the shame
I'm up
I'm down
Like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
A risky morning, I feel like I'm alive
I can't believe I made it through this time
The edge of sorrow, I lived in for some time
Has left the hole I have inside
The burden is I try my hate
Was the last thing I ever felt
Or thought I could escape
I'm up
I'm down
Like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
You let me here then broke me down
The difference is this time around
I will not let you see me drown
I'm up
I'm down
Like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
Erased the past again now
Erased the past again
Beneath the water
That's fallen from my eyes
