I remember the same look in your eyes As we went on the same ride Disappointment followed the weight of your strides And we went on the same ride Caught on the dreams of another lonely teen Saw you peeking through as it ripped at the seams I only remember the same look in your eyes As we went on the same ride You spoke colors and I spoke terms That you knew we’d never learn And in the times we thought of love But there’s too many lies in truth Even though you've promised change I cut my hands on the same words And I keep on bleeding I remember the sound of your sighs As we dreamt on the same skies Turns out they held onto another’s night As we dreamt on the same skies And if I could see it coming just like this Maybe I could make sure I wouldn't miss I only remember the sound of your sighs As we dreamt on the same skies You spoke in years and I spoke in days Of things we could never say And in the times we thought of hope But there’s far too many truths in lies Even though I've promised change You cut your hands on the same words And you keep on bleeding. We breathe in truths and speak in lies Of all the wishes that had died And if we could start it over once again But we've lost too many chances now We can always promise change But we’ll keep cutting hands on the same words And we’ll keep on bleeding And you’ll keep on bleeding. And I’ll keep on bleeding. © 2014

Sharp Words (Cut Deeper)
I remember the same look in your eyes As we went on the same ride Disappointment followed the weight of your strides And we went on the same ride Caught on the dreams of another lonely teen Saw you peeking through as it ripped at the seams I only remember the same look in your eyes As we went on the same ride You spoke colors and I spoke terms That you knew we’d never learn And in the times we thought of love But there’s too many lies in truth Even though you've promised change I cut my hands on the same words And I keep on bleeding I remember the sound of your sighs As we dreamt on the same skies Turns out they held onto another’s night As we dreamt on the same skies And if I could see it coming just like this Maybe I could make sure I wouldn't miss I only remember the sound of your sighs As we dreamt on the same skies You spoke in years and I spoke in days Of things we could never say And in the times we thought of hope But there’s far too many truths in lies Even though I've promised change You cut your hands on the same words And you keep on bleeding. We breathe in truths and speak in lies Of all the wishes that had died And if we could start it over once again But we've lost too many chances now We can always promise change But we’ll keep cutting hands on the same words And we’ll keep on bleeding And you’ll keep on bleeding. And I’ll keep on bleeding. © 2014
