Haunted City by Knife Hands

My face hit the ground as the door slammed behind me
This repetition so damning
Flames I keep fanning consume
All that was
Memories
They haunt the place between waking and sleep forever
Walking these streets alone
They were home
They were home to me
Now just a graveyard where friendships they get sent to die

Don't look back and don't look down
Just take my hand
We'll only ever get so far.
With the weight of past days baring down
On what you might become you'll only ever get so far

It's not as simple as resetting clocks
This beating heart's not a gear in a box but alive
The guilt takes over me
The carving knife cuts all the way through the flesh too the bone
Piece by piece
The flayed layers they
Fall to the floor like so many scraps and before
There's nothing left of me
I write these confessions in sweat and breath
Of armoured hearts and how they sunk to the depths
I feel like I failed but did what I did to survive

Don't look back and don't look down
Just take my hand
We'll only ever get so far.
With the weight of past days baring down
On what you might be come you'll only ever get so far.

The flayed layers they
Fall to the floor like so many scraps of days come and gone
Before, we had a chance to build something more
So I write these confessions in sweat and breath
Of armoured hearts and how they sunk to the depths
I feel like I failed
But it's just a waste of the words.
