Silver Veins

It started so clean no one could keep us from each other
It didn't take long for me to be your lover
Young love took over while you stared in my eyes
And you told me things I never realized
I was young and dumb, numb I would succumb
to everything you came from but I knew
You were toxic for me yeah I knew you weren't you lately

So come and untie
Release me from these ropes
The daylight's calling my name
Look at the upside
At least there's oxygen
Flowing through my silver veins

Years went by and lost touch with myself
Thought I could turn to you when I really needed help
But you lit the match, you left me for dead
When you see the world through hate, man you only see red
Those days are gone, yeah I know
The burden weighs a ton, yeah I know
It'd be easier with a gun, yeah I know
But where's the fun, you know?
