The Past Is Written

Get a load of the ugliness when all of this subsides Looking like a young widow in funeral black and white Keep drinking the poison tighten the locks on all the doors You swallow mine I swallow yours Coming up in red all over the floor You can't count the ways We hurt each other almost every day The water lands in the same place Drop in a bucket or tidal wave A plea for devotion Devoid of emotion Get a load of the ugliness when all of this subsides I know you hate to run you know I love to hide But I tried and tried and tried No more places left to hide A plea for devotion Devoid of emotion Trying to swim towards the light at the bottom of the ocean There's nothing I'm better at than going to a bad place fast But I want to get better at knowing myself Knowing where my anxiety lies And actually trying to do something about it Promise yourself when lonely When your overwhelmed when you're overworked When you're starving for a connection You won't take it out on the people you love A plea for devotion Devoid of emotion Maybe it's not too late To fix what we've broken You said The past is written The future isn't The past is written The future's still in our hands
