A Forever Recovery - Capstan

While everyone’s sleeping in their bed I’m wide awake lost in my head

I’m so fucking tired and out of breath and it’s been like this ever since you

left

I was always more careless than careful.

Losing grips on things I cared for

My body’s tired and these eyes are sore.

Forever drifting while you’re safe

ashore

While everyone’s smug with second best, I’ll bandage these wounds inside my

chest

Been carrying the weight of the world and just can’t do it anymore

It’s impossible to be invincible in a world that’s so deceitful

But I just keep pretending that never sinking is believable

Well I’ve been down and I’ve been out but this is something I’ve never felt

The letters and the promises you’ve sent have only brought me hell

I’m breaking up the cycle of letting you pull me down

Can you feel the ground shake it caves from your weight

Empty promises can’t save you now

The clarity of your voice has since turned to white noise and static

It seems my outline and your scant design weren’t meant for this schematic

I’ve become numb to what’s come undone

Your secondhand stories like sun before morning

Lost the shine that lit up your eyes.

Your brightest words are your boldest lies

(Your world is so very small, a silent curtain call. I won’t be around when it

all comes crashing down.)

You’ve left me short on breath I’m speechless.

Clinging to the only air I still

have left

Avoiding death

I can feel the room getting smaller and closing in

Well I’ve been down and I’ve been out but this is something I’ve never felt

The letters and the promises you’ve sent have only brought me hell

I’m breaking up the cycle of letting you pull me down

Can you feel the ground shake it caves from your weight

Empty promises can’t save you now

The clarity of your voice has since turned to white noise and static

It seems my outline and your scant design weren’t meant for this schematic

What hurts the most isn’t the fact that our lives changed

It’s how I’ve become so obsolete but I’ll thrive from what remains

I’ve always been an open book letting you skim through every chapter

Now the pages are finally closed, a catalyst for your disaster

Well now your down.

The one thats out.

And this is something you’ve never felt

With these words I’ve helped myself grow inside and out of doubt

And I know this brings you hell

I finally broke the cycle of letting you pull me down

Can you feel the ground shake it caves from your weight

Empty promises can’t save you now

The clarity of your voice has since turned to white noise and static

It seems my outline and your scant design weren’t meant for this schematic

Was I the needle in your arm the reason for your bad habit

Or were those empty words of a withdrawing addict

When the drugs are gone I hope one thing remains

I pray my voice still echoes through your veins
