Thoughts We Can't Reclaim Songtext
von Vacant Home

I know where it lies
Kept from the light
Buried on the shelf between Have Heart and Trophy Eyes
Nothing but a placeholder
While I threw away the golden years
In search of merely getting by

Doors I should have opened, I chose to keep shut
Through intention, I knew it wouldn′t last
Now I'm forced to concede to a lesser degree
These last few years mean nothing to me
Mean nothing to me

Drain yourself, reap the rewards
The devil′s hand's never been empty before
I've been told, the end is sweet
So tell me, why do I taste defeat?


I am nothing like you are
Bitterness in the aftermath
I′ve witnessed no purpose
It′s not worth it

I've decayed, myself to blame
It′s so self-conflicting, overwhelmed by false security
I've decayed, my selfish ways
It′s so self-conflicting

Bring me back to the day where we held light
Fly, fall, find my foregone pride

I won't let go of the mistakes I made back then
To live with the choice I made
Is this what you′ve been waiting for?
Is this what you wanted?
I'm in debt to what I could not show

I'm not like you are
Bitterness in the aftermath
I′m not like you, and I never will be
I′ve witnessed no purpose
It's not worth it

Abandoned and used, you fed me the fuse
I′m burning bridges
