lyrics

i can't seem to find
any tranquil places in my mind
and everything i do is just enough to pass the time

break down your walls
let them crumble to your feet
we'll build them up again
as long as we sustain this heat
i know you're right, that's not the point of this
i just don't have the time
to keep up with your shit anymore

savor the beauty and most memorable nights
once we're dead we'll become legacies
long after our lives.
for the best of things
i'll try not to bring myself around when you are there
it could be easy but you just don't please
why would i wait when you don't care?
it's such a shame that i still sit here for more
much wasted time, i spent poorly for sure

is it enough to say i'm trying
or are you still in contempt
of everything i say?
because your words mean more to me
than any misleading thing
they could've said in your place
please reprive the names
what is life without mistakes?
