The Amity Affliction
15 Pieces of Flare
[Verse 1: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
I saw the bridge today, I thought I had it burned
Made a stop to memories, I drowned out, had it covered
Falling down into the river where we're broken and destroyed
And on the stones, I saw the carvings of a past I've left destroyed
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
I saw the ghost of every day, of every year I have forgotten
And the grief and the confusion of a world I've yet discover
The ghost of myself is still mourning all the lives I won't discover
Because I buried myself forever
[Verse 2: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
I buried myself and carved out new existence
Where the memories won't burn, and break all of my bridges
And now I still pull down myself
And I'm trying to find that bridge and build that life
And build that life, that life I always wanted
Be no love with much to give
Open my eyes and shed the world and take a breath
In turgid waters, where I've hidden away
Where I've set my heart to slaughter
In the past I've left destroyed
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
I saw the ghost of every day, of every year I have forgotten
And the grief and the confusion
The ghost of myself is still mourning all the lives I won't discover
Because I buried myself forever
[Bridge]
Yeah
[Outro: Joel Birch]
My future will not be defined by my past
My future will not be defined by my past
My future, our future
