The Future Hangs

Conveniently I wait avoid these feelings and other mistakes
 If only I were taller I'd see past the clutter and plan an escape
 I've hollowed out my heart so emotions can echo and drift apart
 But they haunt me in my sleep a constant pounding that wants to speak
 These infectious little lies are barely breathing they're barely alive
 So I swallow my pride embrace these moments that seem contrived
 It's only been eight weeks since I conceded my defeat
 But it lingers like a scar that won't allow me to retreat
 My dear friend no longer by my side
 If only you could see what you meant to me
 I have to bridge this gap somehow
 The past is far too close and the future hangs in my face
 These abbreviated thoughts won't affect you in the end 'Cause the sun's about to set on this moment and on this trend
 My dear friend no longer by my side
 If only you could see what you meant to me
 I have to bridge this gap somehow
 The past is far too close and the future hangs in our face patiently
