lyrics

I stared at the sun, then looked away
Found my vision had been stained
Patches of ghostly color left over when sunlight's been replaced
Whenever I close my eyes
A reminder of lost light
Now it's all the remains of a moment once golden and bright

Chorus:
It's like trying to hold on to water
Trying to feel what I can no longer
I'm pressed up against unbreakable glass
To look at perfection trapped in the past
The absence overwhelms me
Filled to the brim with nothing
Can't let go, no way to hold on
I'm stuck with a simulacrum

Walking through an empty room
This place seems familiar, at least it used to
I can almost see everything that was here
Before it got worn and lost its use
Is everything more beautiful in retrospect?
Does everything feel better out of reach?

Repeat Chorus

I could recreate the moment that I miss
But that would only be listening for a song in the silence
I want to cry, but I'm too disconnected for tears
I ran out of time and forgot how to feel

Repeat Chorus

Is everything more beautiful in retrospect?
Does everything feel better put of reach?
