Trying Proves Ineffective

"Trying Proves Ineffective"

The echoes, the fire burning right through me
the liars, my desires become my liability.....

You hold the strings attached to my heart
one more single tug and it's threatening to fall apart
open up your bright eyes, pace yourself for another look inside
take this as a lesson learned, pay close attention to your words
they determine the way I act, release your quiet laugh..

(Chorus)

The echoes, the fire burning right through me
the liars, my desires become my liability
grasping at thin air, just keep grasping at thin air,
the trust, the lust replace my common senses
the ache, now awakened to this blurry reality that seems endless
grasping at thin air, just keep grasping at thin air...

You're the ghost of me, haunting rather silently
feeling your cold stares, turn around but you're not there
poetry fills this journal of continuous emotions
and your simple initials fill up the margins
it's a portal to the past, how long could it possibly last...

Attempted to hold on to this something
but my shaky fingers kept on slipping
and eventually I lost grip of these meaningless feelings
as the clock moves forward, love left me nothing...

Time defines the life I used to live,
as a pain develops within me, closer to the edge
refusing to remember anything involving you
telling myself it's the best for us, is it true...

The echoes, the fire burning right through me
the liars, my desires become my liability.....

The echoes, the fire burning right through me
the liars, my desires become my liability
grasping at thin air, just keep grasping at thin air,
the trust, the lust replace my common senses
the ache, now awakened to this blurry reality that seems endless
grasping at thin air, just keep grasping at thin air...

Don't say I never tried, for that is a complete lie,
don't say I never tried, for that is a complete lie...
