A Song For The Sunset

With baited breath
Waiting for the promise of something more
Feet unsteady, not so sure
With baited breath
And looking over the edge
Stare at everything that I used to be
I learned the art of keeping secrets from everyone I know
I've learned to keep my broken promises
Keep them inside and let them grow
I can't keep looking forward without staring back behind
There are so many things that I should forget
And not keep them locked inside
Falling back in love with all that doubt I used to feel
It wrapped me up so tightly
Those darkened days they always shine the brightest
In their own imperfect way
Those darkest days they always burn the brightest
In my faulty memory
I can't live within, I don't want to live without
Collecting all those memories and throwing them all out
I can't live within, don't want to live without,
Collecting all these memories and throwing them out
Throwing them out
Watch as it all falls back into place
I need to keep living in this feeling of grace
Everything comes full circle

Closing Doors

Five more steps and I'll leave this home
I won't be coming back, and deep down I know
That this will be the last time, and time is running slow
Every footstep that I take makes the loudest sound
Closing doors to empty rooms
This isn't how I pictured it would be
This is where I used to daydream all my days away
Filling in the blanks with stolen memories
The constant light that I used to stare at outside my window
Starts to flicker
It can't be running away if there's nowhere left to run to
It's just I've found another way
This can't be running away, if there's nowhere left to run to
It's just I've found another way to get to where I need to be
Step outside
Leaving for the last time
The air is so much colder than it used to be
That night air, it closes in on me
And as I breathe out I can feel the end beginning
Try not to shake as I turn and lock in the door
Locking away a life that I fought so hard for
But as I'm walking away I know the night belongs to me
As I'm walking away, I know this night belongs to me
It can't be running away if there's nowhere left to run to
It's just I've found another way, to get to where I need to be
This night belongs to me
