Post-Hardcore/Emo from Grand Rapids, Michigan. N E A R S I G H T E D EP COMING 5/8/2020 Lyrics: To whom it may concern, I think I'm better off today I’m so far away from the black cloud that was following me Well I shared your fear, thought I'd lost my way But I've been released from the fog that's crowding my brain The shame, the guilt, the suffering, that only I felt A way to get back to where we all want to be Part of me is screaming “there's no coming back” I want to ease the suffering and have no worries about the things that I still lack I’m in a better place, a calmer state of mind The only help I need is putting this all behind Help remove the noose from round my neck And help me find a place to dump this misplaced regret The shame, the guilt, the suffering, that only I felt A way to get back to where we all want to be Part of me is screaming “there's no coming back” I want to ease the suffering and have no worries about the things that I still lack It's never too late to take back what you said To rid all of the demons that congregate in your head I left because it hurt, I left because it burned me and all the worn-out rules that you made they don’t concern me now The shame, the guilt, the suffering, that only I felt A way to get back to where we all want to be Part of me is screaming “there's no coming back” I want to ease the suffering and have no worries about the things that I still lack
