about

A collaboration with my good friend Austin Cieszko. This song is about indecision. Or crayons maybe.

lyrics

(Verse)
The well is dry; the days we have are slim
You don't belong with him
the margins sinking in
and every single step i take is one away from you
and when we were brand new,
the fears we held were true

(Chorus)
I don't want to go, leave it all behind, although
I've been here before, oh so many times
You'd do well, to see my true colors and look past the pastels
I don't wanna go after all this time, although
Can't I ever know, were you really mine?
You'd do well, to see my true colors and look past the pastels

(Verse)
The end is nigh, and I must choose
What I will lose
Myself or you
And I don't want to spend another second hiding this from you,
like I'm just another reason why we're split in two
Like an atmosphere we fall through

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Please, make me strong
enough to move on

(Chorus)
