Denial

I know I've crossed that line with you
Watched the earth shatter in your eyes
I knew it

And time won't change the face of your demons
Or bury what was said
To bring them here

So walk away
Take it on faith there's no one looking back
Walk past forgiveness, ignore it
Don't think anything of it
This is the easiest way to take the blame
To hide behind yourself for a while
In denial

I know I pushed you too hard
Saw the whole universe crushed in your mind
I felt it

And no one knows how long you've held your end
No one can imagine how it feels
To be you bleeding

So throw it away
Trust there's no one who can understand
Sacrafice your freedom
With no questions, take the deliberate way out
Hide the marks of where you've been
This is the easiest way to make truths of lies
In denial

I can't change the shapes of the reasons
Why I put it out there
With you

I won't take back what it was that unnerved you
Or supress the strength it takes
To love you

So just walk away
Pretend I'm not here existing with you
Imagine you're the only thing that's real in here
Without concern for repercussions or justice
Just close your eyes and believe
This is the easiest way to live with what's inside
Denial
