Epiphany

Do you remember what you said to me
That rainy Sunday morning back at Street 14?
No matter what I got your back, yeah
And then you drove us off the tracks

You took my money and the rest of me
Recklessly destroying all that we could be
But I'm not putting up with that, yeah
I pull the knife out of my back

Oh, maybe I was just too much for you
Oh, but maybe I'm proof that you're the fool

But I won't let you be the death of me
I'm gonna rise above the ashes
Think I finally found epiphany
A way out of your madness
I hate to be the one to break it to you but
Most people hate you
So now I wipe your name off of me
And pretend it didn't happen

I still remember you next to me
When I told you about the only thing that mattered to me
Been blocking out the words they said
Little did I know they would be right in the end

Oh, maybe I was just too much for you
Oh, but maybe I'm proof that you're the fool

But I won't let you be the death of me
I'm gonna rise above the ashes
Think I finally found epiphany
A way out of your madness
I hate to be the one to break it to you but
Most people hate you
So now I wipe your name off of me
And pretend it didn't happen

No, I won't let you get the best of me
No, my rose-colored glasses
And out of all the bricks you threw at me
I'm gonna build a motherfucking castle
I'll lock up all the gates
And slowly, day by day
You'll be nothing but another memory
I slowly wipe your name off of me
Just like it didn't happen

An old man acting like he's seventeen
I sadly didn't see it back at Street 14
