The Color of Growth

For Forever

The color of my conscience is a distant apogee.
My route begins to pivot when you no longer connect to me

I can't suppress the toll it takes
I did again what I have to face
And whether it is far or near
The wrongs that bought me you have left me here

So if you are the catch that I have to throw back
Sharks in the water will thank me at last.
The dreams I still have start to change how you look
The marks on your skin and the words I mistook for forever.
Forever was never enough.

Yea, I've had motives that change over time.
I find what I love and I just make it mine.
Somewhere along though reservations never left.
I kept this around but I also kept them.

In case of this: split in two.
I cheated it, and cheated you.
Its hard to look into a mirror
When the same wrongs that brought me to you left me here.

So if you are the catch that I have to throw back
Sharks in the water will thank me at last.
The dreams I still have start to change how you look
The sound of your voice and the words I mistook for forever.
The way that it dies starts to fade over time but forever,
Forever is never enough.

I had to lose so I could gain a better hold of myself
It had to go the way it went.
Now the way I see I couldn't see then.
See then.

Now if you are the catch that I have to throw back
The sharks in the water will thank me at last.
The dreams I still have start to change how you look
The marks on your skin and the words I mistook for forever.

If I was the catch that let you throw you back.
The next one in line, then, should thank me at last.
In dreams that you have you forget how I am and the sound of my voice.
Let this help you remember forever.
Forever was never enough.
