What We Used To Be
AUGUST 08 Lyrics

Load up all my memories, play 'em big screen
Bring back all the memories from the past and vividly relive them

We can all laugh together
We can find humor in the way things used to be, despite any hardships

At what we use to be
Reflecting on the past and acknowledging how things have changed

Gather all your tears in this pool and let's swim
Let's embrace and immerse ourselves in the emotions and challenges we've faced together

We should just float forever
Instead of fighting against the currents of life, we should embrace the moments and float through them

Sirens, keep hearing sirens
Continuously being reminded of the warning signs and red flags

Talking bad but you say you want no violence
Engaging in negative conversations, yet pretending to avoid any physical harm or confrontation

Shady ways but you say I got no conscience
Engaging in dubious actions, yet denying any guilt or moral consideration

Lose myself in my feels and I don't mind it
Getting lost in one's emotions and finding comfort in that state

But soon as you call, it all goes south
As soon as you reach out, the situation takes a negative turn

And I'm back where you want
End up in the same place you desire or manipulate

Fight it, silence, violence
Struggling against the circumstances, resorting to silence to avoid conflict or confrontation

'Cause day after day, I leave for good
Every day, with the intention of permanently leaving or breaking free

But then I'm back in your arms
However, I find myself back under your influence or control

Fight it, silence, trying to make it out
Continuing to resist and stay silent, while striving to escape the situation

Silence, keep hearing silence
Constantly encountering a lack of communication or understanding

Stay awake in the deep and I don't like it
Remaining aware and conscious in a difficult or challenging situation, which is uncomfortable

Silence, timeless, blinded
The silence persists, enduring through time, causing a sense of being blinded to the truth

Yeah, ho
Expressing a feeling of determination or resilience

Load up all my memories, play 'em big screen (make it out)
Revisiting and scrutinizing all the memories, with the intention of moving forward and overcoming them

Yeah, ho
Reiterating determination or resilience

Gather all your tears in this pool and let's swim
Collecting all the emotions and hardships together, embracing them, and moving forward

We should just float forever
We should learn to go with the flow and adapt, embracing whatever comes our way indefinitely
