Re‐17 Songtext
von SlightlyCubic

It falls, yet can′t recollect of the cause
No one to answer it's calls

For each day I reach for the stars
I give away more of my youth for the path I will carve
The unbalanced weight of a crooked creation
May tip and just crush me before that cremation
Maybe it′s selfish to want to survive
What should otherwise be an end to the phrase known as "we"

Something came to shatter her world
She should've gone nowhere and just left it at that
Your work remains unfinished as the years start to stack

You know I'm scared of the quiet, the empty space
That hides in between all the waves of your grace
To fall is never an option, yet half my time
Is spent on the ground flowing down into the drain

There′s only so much I can do in my urgency to make things bigger
With one more year to spare before I′m forced to clear my mirror


As the clocks count down and scorch what we built
And I waste my life presenting my skill
Does that mean I play a part in our guilt?
Do I cry over milk already spilled?
When the care's gone, I′ve no right to complain
As the world's end rests on all of our names
Have I done my part to not be the same
Have I asked too much of you?

Is every step one in the right direction?
Am I misguided in hopeless obsession?
I′ve been too scared to look at my reflection
When he looked back at me, I fell to my knees
For what I saw was not me
I confess sometimes it's hard not to miss that kid
With his WoodenToaster shirt
Maybe his songs were shit
But he still put in the work
He made his art just for fun
Not ′cause he's scared what will happen when he won't
