Turn Me Away

I remember the sound of forgetting everything that made me feel alright
Nails on a chalkboard; my alarm clock
Wake me up from the best dream ever
Cross me off your list of remedies
Is it my birthday already?
Everybody out so I can start drinking heavy into this mess
Well, I’m just killing time so I guess I’ll just keep holding it down, but tell me how long it’ll take you to meet me here

I remember the sound of her making me constantly think twice about escaping the only life I knew how to fake
Every little lie is just a twisted kind of role-play
Playing it off like the others not there
Calling it quits and pretending to care
Splitting the cost. Epitomise disinterest
Looks like we’re lost and I can’t bear to witness this fucking mess. Well, I’m just killing time so I guess I’ll just keep holding it down, but tell me how long it’ll take for this shit to hit home

Turn me away
Throw me aside
But how long will it take for this shit to hit home?

I remember the sound of forgetting everything that made me feel alright
I remember the sound of her making me constantly think twice. Calculating my next move, but one step behind she sees my true colours
When they’re limited to black and blue, she drops the ball and I’m done acting like I’m not rotting in the palm of her hand
She says she’s got a new boyfriend, sings in some other fucking band
So turn me away
Throw me aside
Feed me one more story where our futures collide
But I’m not the one you were hung up on; a silhouette that’s so far gone
And the years we shared were overdrawn
All that’s left to say is turn me away, throw me aside
Feed me one more story where our futures collide
