Lyrics:
Your summer seems far away these days
Guess it’s been long enough to say
It might be time to walk away
From others’ debt I repaid
I hear the sirens and the pain
Drown out the life that would be claimed
Thrill-seeking like a child
It wasn’t my fault [wasn’t my fault]
I took the blame
I’m still running ‘round the circles of hell
With all the secrets too neurotic to tell
Woke from our dream to a scene when the ivory tower
Fell
Save me from myself and
Leave the rest in ruin
Take me from this hell
Until I see you again
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah…
Perfecting penance with a blade
Contrition claims I’ll be redeemed
Past-life regression, overstayed
I’ve spent my whole life coming clean
They always said to act my age
In sympathetic disbelief
I’ve done my best to disengage
Blood on my hands with no relief
White bracelets with their barcodes and shame
I try to grow up, but it’s always in vain
Unrelenting, stop pretending that it’s my pain to claim
Save me from myself and
Leave the rest in ruin
Take me from this hell
Until I see you again
Emptying orange bottles
The sun can’t rise tomorrow
Living on time I borrowed
Through all the sadness swallowed
I won’t forget you, my friend
I’ll ruin me ‘til the end
The end
I won’t forget you, my friend
Save me from myself and
Leave the rest in ruin
Take me from this hell
Until I see you…
Save me from myself and
Leave the rest in ruin [rest in ruin]
Take me from this hell
Until I see you
‘Til I see you
‘Til I see you
See you
See you again
