this song is about the fact that people can always leave you but memories never die. never let anyone or anything consume you, and your home will always be where everyone and everything you love is. even though we may feel like we're dying sometimes, things will always end up awesome. getting there is the hardest part.
lyrics
i’m still trying to escape these memories, a heart spelled out in these dead leaves. a confused man wanders in search of a home but a mile of sky won’t bandage these wounds.
think of this as something as temporary as the cigarettes you hold in-between your fingers and slowly to your mouth as you suck as much as you can from it. exhale. everything in life will be like this.
take this knife out of my chest. please. lift your curse.
(why can't you die?)
where do i begin? where do you end?
