Softer Spoken

When words are softer spoken
They often sound the best
But now so interwoven
They've burrowed in my chest

I'm all used up, I'm out of steam
Vacationing somewhere in between
A city named catharsis
And the other called empty
In one I feel so common
And the other I am royalty

I'm seeking out a place
One to give me peace
And everything between
I'm seeking out a place
One to give me peace
'Cause ever since you died
I can't control anything
Everything feels new
Built from catastrophe
Just when I get a hold
It slips away from me

I've always relied on melody
I've come to rely on love
But there's an absence in my heart
When I know I have enough
