LYRICS:
What have I become? A shadow of someone? I can't breathe, I'm too terrified to move. I won't speak, this time it's up to you. Where did I go wrong? With a fraction of the love, we have to prove, we're too terrified to lose. Distance means that I've fallen out of reach. It doesn't mean that I'm gone. The difference now is I'm slowly losing touch, with where I feel I belong; with who I thought I'd become. Fear the truth you found; burn it to the ground. There's more to find, it's a long drive to the coast. Become the host; let's bleed this country dry. Do you regret the dream? Do you want out? Have you forgotten me? Have you lost hope?
