Mechanics of Moving Backwards

Mistakes, misjudgments
The scars that mark your past
Think about where you are
The roads you traveled there
When it all crashes down upon you
And there's nowhere else to go
You need to go back where you came from
Think about what you know

Fragments of sobriety
Addicted to lost time
Pureness is fiction

Bloodred nostalgia
The ropes are by your side
True stories, dead letters
Existence of patterns

The decaying of common sense
Toxics, rule your thought
Untimely demise

The decaying of common sense
Stained with malintent
Devolve bad ideas

You have to pull yourself together
Or fall in the downslide of life
Trial and error
Take what it has shown
And the scars that mark your life

Devolve bad ideas
Take what it has shown
Or fall in the downslide of life

Fragments of sobriety
Addicted to lost time
Pureness is fiction

The decaying of common sense
Stained with malintent
