Hanmer Street Lyrics

Ebonivory Hanmer Street

I broke myself
I want my old life back
I lost my sense of purpose
You tell me
You tell me I'm wrong

I find comfort in the selfishness
Of the things we ask ourselves
I find comfort in the uncertainty
That we might be dead
Or might be waking up

Time will tell
If this dream is just life as well
Time will tell, time will tell

I can't seem to ignore all the signs
Are you waiting to come back to us?
I could not believe it all this time
All I wanted was someone to know

So I lie awake know I lie to myself
Break the cycle
I don't want to live in a life that aches
For lies we aim to hide

A life that goes on
A darkness that grows
Forget not what's there
You're begging me not to forget
You've been asking me
When I'll find what is missing
I've tried

I'm trying so hard to forget
The scenes that repeat in my head
There's things I've seen I've never said
But I'd rather they kill me instead
'Cause it's so far away;
The love and the praise
The promises that I was fed
As the paint dries
And the grass dies
Are you waiting to come back to us?

I want my old life back
I lost my sense of purpose
You tell me
You tell me I'm wrong

I find comfort in the selfishness
Of the things we ask ourselves
I find comfort in the uncertainty
That we might be dead
Or might be waking up
