I got my hopes up again, friend;
I prayed to the wind and it went quiet
Left me in the dust again
and I don't know if I can
pick myself up this time
I don't know if I want to
I got my hopes up again, friend;
I prayed to the wind and it went quiet
Can I breathe once again, when on the ground I stand,
My vision turns blue, I need to forget you
I need to bury the past and kick it back
and hold it where it belongs
It'll eat me alive, friend;
Come and save me
You picked me up when I felt weak
and my voice was too soft to speak
but you read my eyes and told the truth
and on young souls I cut my tooth
Lift the past and burn it down
and throw the ashes to the wind,
so it can never find itself again
A chance for rebirth
But I don't know if I want to
shorter version of something i might finish in the future
