Expiate

The miles I've traveled now seem like withered time
 Fixated on the rear view when I can't see ahead
 For me to view a reflection without corruption
 So a past won't dictate a present
 Months pass, sitting still, thinking in this box
 Where my thoughts are not friendly nor hopeful
 This weak mind and body crumble
 Who we were will never be the same
 We'll never relive the feeling
 Love we made, we let it slip away
 And I just can't face it
 I can feel it coming on, living inside
 Calling me right back to you
 My regret meets no resistance
 And I endorse this torment to feel
 If you exhaust a heart of love
 Is the pumping of blood still enough?
 Do the limbs go numb?
 Who we were will never be the same
 We'll never relive the feeling
 Love we made, we let it slip away
 And I just can't face it
 Who we were will never be the same
 We'll never relive the feeling
 Love we made, we let it slip away
 And I just can't face it
 My fictional friend, conducting me piece by piece
 I feel your cold blank stare cast on me
 I don't ask to be mended
 Just understand my words and hear me out
 All the passion has faded
 All the fire has burned out
 How could I see it coming?
 This electrifying high that we would grow to resent
 I can feel it coming on, living inside
 Calling me right back to you
