Lyrics:

[Intro]
Open your eyes and see
The truth will set you free

[Verse 1]
I struggle to feel any sense of purpose
If I give it my all, will it be worth it?
I’m on my own, I will see this through

[Pre-Chorus]
These scars will never leave
Time has passed but they still bleed
I see you in my dreams
The ghost of you haunting me
Why does it have to be
So hard to come back home
Relinquish me

[Chorus]
Time has passed but they still bleed
These scars will never leave
I see you in my dreams
Your ghost is haunting me
Time has passed but you won’t change
My lungs scream out to you
Mother, please reply
“I have changed my ways”

[Verse 2]
The echoes of yesterday flow seamlessly
When you lie awake at night
Do you call my name?

[Verse 3]
Now that I mean nothing
Why have faith in a dead dream
I’ve tried so hard and lost myself
Trying to find my way without you

[Verse 4]
I’ll walk this path alone
And remember the place that I used to call home
My memories, they taunt me
If you’re out there, can you hear me?

[Verse 5]
My lungs scream out one last time
In hopes to hear you reply
“Son, I’m sorry for who I was”

[Chorus]
Time has passed but they still bleed
These scars will never leave
I see you in my dreams
Your ghost is haunting me
Time has past but you won’t change
My lungs scream out to you
Mother please reply
“I have changed my ways”

[Bridge]
A new day upon us
Silence echoes the memory

[Breakdown]
I’ve lost all self control
Leaving me behind was your only hope
Insecurities fill the abscess
Longing for solutions to erase this image
Of the constructs you built inside of me

[Outro]
And at the end of the day (And at the end of the day)
I wither as you turn away (Turn away)
