Nostalgic Silence

Watching all my tapes
You recognize my face
You told me after all these years my smile never changed
I listened to the CD's, never picked up on my mistakes
But part of me still wonders if this truly is my fate

Moving on, moving on, moving on
Memories are moments that happen to fall apart
Yearning for the days we forgetting why we departed
Coping with recordings, nostalgia keeps us apart
Drown it out, Drown it out, Drown it out
Take another hit just to try to go live without it
Leave it in the past, try your best to forget about
I know one day I'll feel nostalgic about the silence

Running from all my problems there ain't no doubt about it
Finding peace of mind is so much harder than with violence
Waiting for the time I'm nostalgic about the silence
But lately I been thinking bout what it feels to be dying, no
But I swear that I'm okay
Play the game just how I play
And say what I need to say, no, no
And I look into the past
Just to see what I did last
Then pick up of what remained of me
Think I know exactly where to go now
Used to think my past was something I could never hold down
Say this as I walked along and passed the long road now
Think I been freed, did it on my own now
These people they been faking
When I laugh they straight-facing
Cuz I guess they just can't handle the truth
These bitches will stay hating
But trip on their shoelaces
If they ever stepped foot in my shoes

Listened to my mixtapes
You knew just what to say
You gave me your support and then you vanished without a trace
I listened to our memories, I learned from my mistakes
This long road that's been ahead of me in my head has been replaced

Something in the way
I cover up the pain
Rip off the band-aid now
Hiding my mistakes
Hiding my mistakes
Take it day by day
Fucking with the pain
Only learn the hard way

Moving on, moving on, moving on
Memories are moments that happen to fall apart
Yearning for the days we forgetting why we departed
Coping with recordings, nostalgia keeps us apart
Drown it out, Drown it out, Drown it out
Take another hit just to try to go live without it
Leave it in the past, try your best to forget about
I know one day I'll feel nostalgic about the silence
