"Parted Time" lyrics

You've left a bitter taste in my mouth
Like a mix of the place I came from and the ash that I spit out
It's not a feeling I'd wish upon you, you know
But the weeds that you neglect will overgrow
We're left to reap just what we sow

None of you parted with a second of your time
You spent the best years of your life wishing you'd never left my side
But I'm not here for approval anymore
I hope it's not too cold for you to breathe back home

Feels like a bullet pierced my chest
Fired with so much eloquence
The scarlet starts to slip, a smile forms across your lips
So run your thumb across the hammer, send me back into the depths

Just let me float
My body drifting out alone
Creating shapes
Through my soul

We got so stuck in our ways (Through my soul)
But never gave it up
So wipe the smile from your face
Before I rip it off
You pretend you're happy for me
But I know you're not
And I can see your teeth from where I'm standing, oh
They glisten in the dark

None of you parted with a second of your time
You spent the best years of your life wishing you'd never left my side
But I'm not here for approval anymore
I hope it's not too cold for you to breathe back home

And it hurts for a time
But the sting will subside in a little while
Yeah, it hurts for a time

We got so stuck in our ways
But never gave it up
So wipe the smile from your face
Before I rip it off
Before I rip it off
