VERSE ONE:
this world only has place for those who were born for it
when the screams are so loud, they penetrate your mind
and you forget your name, you can't call for it
when the boat sways on broken waves, left and right
and the fire breaks the walls of your skin in an instant
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
i need my friends near me, real or fake
when i wake up tomorrow, i won't remember today
the promise i still try to withhold today
is that i won't forget to live
CHORUS:
i stand beneath it all
the sky, the dust, the snowfall
all my comrades look up to me
catch me when i trustfall
VERSE TWO:
a meteor cracks and sways the earth
i am not as broken as i once was
i wait for the right moment to strike
my words are knives,
it's soul-draining, this captivity in moon-laden bedsheets
i'm void of dreams
it's disheartening, how my heart beats when it hurts
but now it's stronger than ever
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
when i woke up today, i forgot yesterday
a promise i made from the very start
is that i won't forget to love
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
this million dollar smile that i'm upholding
all flesh, all teeth, all wide, all red
this million dollar smile i'm upholding
"don't forget to be at your best."
this is not one of the many i've betrayed
this will soon go away
the clouds, the darkness, this haze
i pick fresh apples from the trees that will never grow again
(CHORUS)
OUTRO:
when you forget me, do it in peace;
shattered memory
when you twist my words a thousand times
like knives, this once do it right
