Change Of Scenery

lyrics

change of scenery

everything eventually will settle into its own. cracked down the center, it’s the life of a stepping stone. study to practice failing at the art of letting go. waiting until i can exhale a single breath of hope. whenever you finally reach that happiness feeling free, living it up and making something real out of your dreams, turn west to the sunset and kiss the breeze for me. head stitched to the sky, always bleeding out the seams. i wonder what you’ll remember but i can’t forget a damn thing. the bullets inside my chest keep my heart dancing on a post heaven life raft. watching the past drift out with the tide, along with what it meant to be romantic. love always finds its way home, but not with you. struggling to keep an optimistic view. i’ve got my mind on my life and my money’s on fire. we will be nothing more than another example lost in time.

it’s that serrated edge around your lips that keeps tearing through the shell that i’ve tried to preserve. with our bodies weaving into something we couldn’t separate, embraced by the beauty of mutual release. electric to the touch, it was once bliss. a future of possibilities stolen from a kiss. they say when you find it, try not to let it go. and i have been holding on for as long as i am able. but it’s a knotted noose thinking about somebody else’s silhouette keeping you warm when the space heater’s in the living room. broken into more pieces than i thought i was made of. the tragedy of us no longer fitting together. my love, i’ll miss you more than you’ll understand. but you changed my life for the better and kept me humble. dearest friend, i sincerely wish you the best. and just know that i love you.
