Lyrics Return to Sender - Capstan

Return to Sender

I’ve spent this time in the company of all my vices at the mercy of a mind
running tired and endless
When I close my eyes and fall asleep every night these past few weeks I find
myself with you again.
Still sharing breaths still holding hands but I wake
fast and gasp for air if what’s not real is all still there
Never had an honest answer.
Face the brutal truth.
Found no trace of hope in a
wasted you.
You’re a wilting flower with dying roots.
Burnt out the candle that
went like our faded youth
Her life is comfortable and grounded by aesthetics
Shallow as they come in your own shadow of death.
Treading light enough just to
save some breath
Caught in the undertow of your waves I sense the tides are rising slow like
your entitlement
Your heart has changed and dragged me out.
What happened to the love we found
or what I defined because I believed the words you wrote and spoke to me
Never had an honest answer.
Face the brutal truth.
Found no trace of hope in a
wasted you.
You’re a wilting flower with dying roots.
Burnt out the candle that
went like our faded youth
A white picket fence, yet a lack of substance.
Your empty hands placed hope in
circumstance
