lyrics

When we were young everything seemed easy
At least what I saw of it behind my tattered veil of naivety
You may choose to fall
But I won't let it take over me

If I could pass away peacefully
Erase the dark thoughts from my memory
I still feel like I lost this one tonight

So jaded all my friends lost their way in the dark
& soon it could take me
Every second counts

& I miss them all
I know what I would say if I got a second chance

I'd help them pass away peacefully
Erase the dark thoughts from your memory
Be safe & strong don't let them take you
Not tonight

Sometimes we must give up what makes us feel so safe at night
& it's holding us back
We must move on
We must be stronger without you.

Help me pass away peacefully
Erase the dark thoughts from my memory
Be safe & strong don't let them take you
Not tonight
