why are you trying so hard
to get back the one thing
you didn't want from the start
and why are you trying so hard
to get back to the one place
you've been running from

ideas
and theories
the things we
ascribe to you
the beauty
the passion
the hope that
was never true
you pray in the end that
you learn what
you're needing to
this life is a circle
run where it is leading to

she cries again
he blames the flame within
it's all the same
watch them repeat the game

I will keep trying this hard
I will bring back the dead thing
I left cold in the dark
and I will keep going until
I face the one thing
I'm still running from

you can't see the meaning
the reason
you burn this way
you question your reasons
emotions
quick to betray
a throw back
a whisper
a season
of darker days
the mask that keeps grinning
the further
you go astray

she cries again
he blames the flame within
it's all the same
watch them repeat the game
my lovely friend
the last heart to defend
iterates again
this vicious cycle never ends

why am I trying so hard
to get back the one thing
I didn't want from the start?
why am I trying so hard
to get back to the one place
I've been running from?
