lyrics

We've wasted our failures on convoluted truths we didn't use
We grew our branches before the roots
With these fractured lies, I'll read between the lines and find we didn't deserve this, I didn't deserve this

I've never seen a sky this red, when it snowed this hard
It matches the drapes in my living room, hanging in the middle of empty white walls

I hope it doesn't rain
Just wake me when the snow melts
Wake me up so I don't drown

My actions speak louder than the words of a coward and I won't let where I come from define where I'm going, let it be a testament to never settling for just enough when anything but seemed so far away
I won't forget screaming my lungs out loud
This wilted rose, the thorn in my side, I've lost count of all the times that I try to keep a level head, surrounded by ignorance
Some things are better left unsaid

Wake me when the snow melts

Some things are just better left unsaid
