[00:23.60]	I tried looking into her eyes to make sense of my own life,
[00:27.04]	But found senseless realisations, I was reckless and she was justification;
[00:31.52]	A vacation from the monotony I lived in.
[00:34.40]	And avoiding risk felt nice until I realized, I was avoiding purpose.
[00:39.28]	And it’s all new but I love her,
[00:40.83]	At least I think because I don’t want to live so empty.
[00:45.41]	And I have this tendency to complicate things better than I break things and she was somehow caught in the in between.
[00:51.64]	And forever means forever and that’s what it will always mean.
[00:54.53]	And life is a reality except for when it’s a dream.
[00:57.46]	And those are the moments that I can’t seem to think,
[01:00.10]	But I make sense of my mess by making sense of her and me.
[01:03.43]	And this fear keeps me alive,
[01:05.28]	This fear of knowing that she could leave me.
[01:08.06]	And I could try.
[01:10.00]	But this fear fuels the flames,
[01:11.75]	That’s why I feel like I’m going to die.
[01:14.23]	Cause she kept a part of me close by and I liked it the best I can.
[01:18.61]	And now that I know who I used to be it’s hard to be happy with who I am.
[01:22.35]	And that’s where she came in.
[01:24.15]	A half-baked smile and a love to pretend,
[01:26.54]	But prior to then, love was nothing more to me than a vacation,
[01:30.27]	A vacant motivation,
[01:31.07]	To avoid the means it takes to reach any real end.
[01:34.65]	A sense of salvation,
[01:36.29]	But also an element of bitter hope,
[01:37.93]	To cope with the rope that was tied around my neck.
[01:42.61]	And the saviour I hoped for was chased away,
[01:45.00]	Way back then,
[01:45.85]	When I found vices to take the place of all the things I wanted to be.
[01:51.08]	And I lost sight of me,
[01:52.72]	But I was told I could be anybody.
[01:54.47]	And I thought I could find purpose in loving someone who looks like me
[01:58.80]	And I began dreaming or sinking,
[02:00.49]	Most nights they meant the same thing.
[02:02.03]	And when that salvation finally found me,
[02:04.93]]	It was traded away for thirty pieces of silver.
[02:07.12]	Seems like that’s not too much I guess but I sold my saviour for a whole lot less.
[02:10.95]	My two best friends,
[02:12.64]	Acceptance and a mirage of fake happiness.
[02:15.43]	And now the words I use to cling to as my refuge,
[02:18.41]	Now torture me in my head.
[02:20.05]	Forgive them father they know not what they do,
[02:22.24]	It’s funny cause it seems like I did every time I lied to you.
[02:26.32]	And that’s my only truth,
[02:28.41]	That I can’t sleep at night
[02:29.65]	And I can’t get these things right,
[02:31.25]	And salvation escaped when she came into view.
[02:34.13]	And now I’m hoping my whole life isn’t mistaken as you,
[02:37.86]	But there’s no way of knowing,
[02:39.71]	When all I’m doing is coping.
[02:42.49]	With my own pride.
[02:46.28]	And my past would fight with me hoping I would find truth,
[02:49.52]	But it’s never a good idea to start a fight with a man who has nothing to lose,
[02:55.24]	And I’m empty.
[02:56.98]	My heart is caving in.
[03:00.62]	And for whatever reason,
[03:03.80]	I finally let somebody in.
[03:07.44]	And I don’t know what love is.
[03:09.43]	But I’m growing.
