Lyrics:
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
The long-lived villian in my heart
who pierced my heart countless times
My memories a guideline
to the brutality to be imposed on me
Once I’m about to forget, it comes again, oh yeah,
like what you’d see on a familiar screen, oh yeah
The wounds come back to life,
I try to avoid them but get hurt every time
(My heart gets hurt, yeah)
I know, it can’t just be me,
yeah, it can’t just be me
A small door, past my memories (that I’d locked shut)
is endlessly re-opened (now I leave it open)
I take in a breath (and another deep breath)
until l can catch my breath
Something I could throw away in my memories,
something I could let myself forget,
shake it off, just like that, it’s not much at all
Until I forget, until the end
something I could throw away in my memories,
something that now is not much at all
I only take in my toxic memories
Growing more deeply embedded in my heart
They force me further, corner me,
even my habitual self-blame
Even the things I couldn’t help, oh yeah,
the things deeply overgrown around me, oh yeah,
Cut them off, without exception,
leave nothing behind (without hesitation)
This is the best thing I can do for myself,
with a sharper gaze
A small door, past my memories (that I’d locked shut)
is endlessly re-opened (now I leave it open)
I take in a breath (and another deep breath)
until l can catch my breath
Something I could throw away in my memories,
something I could let myself forget,
shake it off, just like that, it’s not much at all
Until I forget, until the end
something I could throw away in my memories,
something that now is not much at all
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Inside the always endless darkness, I turned on a light
I’ll open the door locking me in even further
Jump on the scene, hit you with the lean
I felt an excitement with my lightened heart
The nightmares that endlessly woke me from my sleep
disappear as I count to three
I let my heated insides burn
making my day feel much Iighter
Surpassing the moment
Making it past the walls that held me in
Watch closely, in front of me,
the traumas of yesterday fall apart
Until I could erase the memories, oh yeah,
of being endlessly out and hurt, oh yeah,
I needed some time
I put up with so much more (I overcame it, yeah)
I draw the sun to myself,
oh, and change begins
A small door, past my memories (that I’d locked shut)
is endlessly re-opened (now I leave it open)
I take in a breath (and fill you anew)
Filling my heart
Something I could throw away in my memories,
something I could let myself forget,
with the wind beginning to blow anew,
Let it blow further, and further,
I overcome it as I’m about to show them
how my gaze is changing
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
