full circle

I was trying to take the high road
Make it cross the tightrope
Leave it on a high note
But that's not the way it works sometimes
I snuffed fire from the matches
Battened down the hatches
Let my heart detach just
To leave it on tender goodbyes
When the seas are stormy
People float away
And it stings to mourn the overboard and wonder
Why they wouldn't stay
I think I'll regret the time I wasted but
They're not villains yet
No, they're just tasteless

I was a drifter till I sifted through the ash of
Fires that I put out long ago
Just goes to show how life comes
Full circle
Full circle
Full circle

Tried to cut my ties off with fate
Begging for a blank slate
Feet took me to the gate
Praying to deaf heaven on both knees
Time has never changed its black spots
We're the ones that grew up
And saw it as it was
A death march in a major key
When the seas are stormy
People float away
And I'll always mourn the overboard and wonder
Why they wouldn't stay
It's a funny thing, walking backwards
You think you know me
But that's in the past cause

I was a drifter till I sifted through the ash of
Fires that I put out long ago
Just goes to show how life comes
Full circle
Full circle
