* if you find/
your warmth no longer mine/
i will forget you/
but if each day/
your embers burn to flame/
my fire is renewed *
all i'm tryna say is that
world ain't a stage
in fact more like a canvas
how you gonna paint it? last
time that you came
asked if i had what's inside me to change
"same song always sad it's a lil played out"
i just always thought that she would stay down
[it's] like i'm treading over different ways now
just to say how
heart fucking gave out
bled on a records worth of lyrics & i'm feeling like a broken one
you are the only one that i hear when the noise fades out
voice echo still rings in my head like
back when i used to hear you sing to yourself still loud
this world ain't a stage it's more like a playlist
made up of fading tracks
always dissipating fast
so it's strange your sustain still stays in tact
*
you were a concert/
i still hear you sing/
i wandered too close now my ears hear it ringing
*
