lyrics

This is the last place
I expect to turn
Herald an inner demon
in hopes of lessons to be learnt
In company of the pioneer
no reputation left to burn
“They all say it was only once”

Now it's safe to say we never knew
It's comfortable to reach back and pull through
Yet I'd be lying, I'm still hoping that you are one of them too

It's easy to escape the void
when there's nothing left but holes
In a life that once mattered
we never meant to break the mould
In a story full of promise
like the one that you once told
“They all say it was only once”

There's promises you were never meant to hear
“And we never have”
“And we never have”
Til we can't feel, can't speak, our senses obsolete
“But we never had”
“What we ever had”

Now it's safe to say we never knew
It's comfortable to reach back and pull through
Yet I'd be lying, I'm still hoping that you are one of them too

They're subdued by finding
trust in the stores above
The back and forth anonymity
amplified to be enough
Til we can't hear, nor speak convincingly
what’s left to call the bluff
“They all say it was only once”
