lyrics

You look back and kick snow over all the tracks that you have laid
how can I follow in your footsteps when I cant see the path you've made
and how can I look up to anyone who was never even there?
because you're too distant to be relevant and too cold for us to care

and I look back over the times I blindly followed in your way
and all you do just serves to remind me that theres nothing left to say

because if you live by your own terms you're going to end up so lonely
that's why I've taken the time to clear my mind of everything that you told me

and I look back over the times I blindly followed in your way
you know I never make eye contact
and my breathing betrays me still
and if our words are really weapons
then we both just fire at will
destroying everything and nothing untill only smoke surrounds
and we're left buried in dead silence with no mans land for common ground

and we look back over times we blindly followed in your way
and all the words we left unspoken fall to ruin and decay

because if you live by your own terms you're going to end up so lonely
that's why I've taken the time to clear my mind of everything that you told me
and as your head falls back into bloodshot skies
your eyes meet mines but don't recognize my face stood out in a crowd because you don't even know me


as I look back on the times we blindly followed our own ways
and all the time and precious breath used up on all the words we waste

because if you live by your own terms you're going to end up so lonely
that's why I've taken the time to clear my mind of everything that you told me
and as your head falls back into bloodshot skies
your eyes meet mines but don't recognize my face stood out in a crowd because you don't even know me
