Cleanrisk - What I Can't Erase, Pt. 2 / Coda

Scared to death of waking up
Sealing the black curtains shut
Fragments of light stabbing through the dust
Quiet tears on the door
Turning around to search for more
Alone with two speakers on the bedroom floor
When I was nine
A hockey puck
Took out my front teeth
You say “Not this again”
How come
It is when you’re near
I find that I feel most alone
And more hurt than I felt then?
(Now you’re)
Close enough to touch
Please tell me should two people hurt this much?
I’ve gotta find the next open embrace
Something to take the place
Of what I can’t erase
Something to take the place
Of what I can’t erase
Of what I can’t erase
Well, I still don’t know
Where I will go
Or where I go I don’t know
Who I’ll be
All I know is
On the road to Him
I’m bound to lose hope
The devil’s sole delight is derailing me
These kids took away
A saying I once loved
So I figure I’ll take it back today
They say “You don’t really know
Quite what you’ve got till it’s gone,”
But everything, eventually goes its separate way
And when the day comes
When I won’t grow any older
And while I’m sprawled out on the tracks
(Yeah)
Will I finally see the face
That I have longed for?
Or is there no going back?
(But now you’re)
Close enough to touch
I wonder, should two people hurt this much?
I’ve gotta find the next open embrace
Something to take the place
Of what I can’t erase
Something to take the place
Of what I can’t erase
Of what I can’t erase
