Mend - My Iron Lung

We wait for things to change

We wait for scars to fade

Winter time losing daylight to sleep

These hardwood floors are cold on the feet

Haven’t felt like my self lately, not since that day

And we wait for scars to fade

Find the love you misplaced

Tear the photos down, rearrange things

Hold yourself, displace the pain a brand new way

Winter time I’m feeling fine

Family and friends say you’re looking better

I can’t help but remember all those miles spent

All those words exchanged and all I’ve learned from them

It’s my choice not to suffer

It’s my right to let daylight hit my skin

To end an era of what if’s, mishaps or could have been’s

I owe that to myself

Excuses, I’m tired of hearing them

We wait for things to change

And we wait for scars to fade

To lose interest and meaning

In this state, every day it’s farther away

Every day, it’s the time that it takes

Excuses, I am tired of hearing them

Always running from solutions

Always thinking of the past and how

The only way out is to let it go and forget

We wait for things to change

And we wait for scars to fade

And today

Memories replaced by new faces, new meaning

And today

My thoughts replaced by new places, new meaning
