Recorded at No Boundaries Studios in Providence, RI
Produced by Chris Piquette
Written and preformed by Riverview

lyrics

Slip into my arms, just like last night
Let’s not just write this off
You have taken my heart
I found it gagged and bound
And sad, and drowned
But I’ve taken refuge in my room where I can think things through
And dream up ways to forget of you
No more desperate calls

Why can’t I feel a thing from anyone else other than you?

* This is my last leg
I pray I find hope when I’m fresh out of rope
And I’m asking you, please
Just don’t make the same mistake as me
I’m not worth the cries, or ties, or empty dreams
Stall all my breathing
I’m choking and I’m faltering
Another death, another scene
I won’t keep arms open or accept the pleas
"You aren’t worth the time or lies or anything" *

Cut all connections
These lungs are now relaxed
I will never relapse again
I’m doing what’s right for me and the ribs in my body
When they used to scream
“We cannot protect what is never there,
And so we’re parting ways with you. We pity you”
But I know I have myself back
I’ll control the way my soul acts
And I’ll take one breath in, and one out

One breath in, one breath out

A departure
Star-crossed lovers
I’m not finding anything worth wanting
(I'm alive)
There were phantoms inside my lungs
But now they fade
Like when sunlight sinks into the lake

You can’t drape secrets as well as you would hope
I tasted the doubt in your kiss
It’s funny how things work out
I insist, I insist

Be it sutures or as bright as futures
But I am rusting, why am I still searching?
But I’ve found it
It’s inside me
I see it every night in my sleep
Chagrinned for what I cannot keep

I am finding happiness in myself
I am starting to see all these feelings and all of their meanings
"Sleep with ease,
Eric, you have no one else to please"
I have given chase and my blood cells will race with gain
No more left of the pain
Let us live and fade off into the rain
