lyrics

Looking back has never hurt like this before.
 I’ve put every memory behind closed doors. 
It’s hard for me to recollect the time i’ve spent 
on discipline and values that seemed permanent.

 What was built to last is falling into pieces

 I have become  what I’ve hated for so many years .
Now I regret  what I have been: Stuck in first gear.
 
Solid insecurity; I’m drowning it  
with liquids I once chose not to resort to.
What I considered wrong has never felt so right. 
Not forever, but for now .

 I have become  what I’ve hated for so many years.
 Now I regret  what I have been: Stuck in first gear.

I’ve been chasing light in darkness  while I could live this very moment. Every now and then I fall again.
