memory ruins

There's a storm of violet haze
From the sun and through the dim lit fires
Brewed between forgotten mountains
The kind of place you go to when you're gone
Where the sky is coming down
Your eyes roll back through all you meant to do
If I could fall and lie inside you
In the fluids of your mind, I drowned too

Wave it away
Whatever you say
Now I'm holding on
If only I could've stayed
Wave it away
Wave it away
Whatever you say
Whatever you say
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
If only I could've stayed
If only I could've stayed

Nothing reaches, nothing matters
I know it hasn't always been this way
Nothing reaches, nothing matters
I know it hasn't always been this way

Wave it away
Whatever you say
I'm holding on
If only I could've stayed

Wave it away
Wave it away
Whatever you say
Whatever you say
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
If only I could've stayed
If only I could've stayed

When the sky is in a reverie
There'll be nothing left to prove
In our place, there lies a memory
In your place, there lies a memory
To be left in ruin
To be left in ruin

It hasn't always been this way
