To Dream, To Forget

Fear that I've been blind
And I'm the reason why
I search for cracks in the divine
And any hope I find
I can't see I've crossed the line
I push past it every time
Fear that the next time I close my eyes
They'll never open again

I'm being buried alive by the weight of my mind
I'm just a shell of my former self
I fight for salvation, my punishment wavered
I would've burned, if I knew I'd learn
I'm running and running, I know they're still coming, I'm right here
To dream, to forget
Why did you never look for me?
We're severed
To dream, to forget

Sat with the fear that I've been blind
And I'm the reason why
I search for cracks in the divine
And any hope I find
I keep running from and I
I can't see I've crossed a line
I push past it every time
Fear that the next time I close my eyes
They'll never open again

Feeling sick and tired of the wasted
Trying to make sense
Starting fires to see the smoke
Dealing with the lies, with the intent
Feeling incensed
You cut the wires, I fall below
It's hard enough
That you say love it is a weakness
Makes you careless, now
Hard enough
So who is it you're trying to impress
'Cause honestly

I never needed a push in the right direction
I saw enough hatred in my reflection
The entertaining of a pointless confession
Reflecting on lessons but we're missing the message

Sat with the fear that I've been blind
And I'm the reason why
I search for cracks in the divine
And any hope I find
I keep running from and I
I can't see I've crossed the line
I push past it every time
Fear that the next time I close my eyes
They'll never open again

So here's to hoping, or coping, and hiding fractures, you're showing
We just want to dream to forget
The fires extinguished but the embers are glowing
I guess I'll go it alone
I guess I'll go it alone
Who needs false hope
Just forget it
