Old Me is Dead

[Verse 1] You search for me in this worn face, But the scars have altered every trace. I haven't been myself in years, My dreams were buried by my fears. [Pre-Chorus] You turn and look back through the haze, Trying to find what's slipped away. But there's a stranger in my eyes, And that bloodless smile won't rise again. [Chorus] Don't seek the things you left behind, Not every road is yours to find. The search will leave you broken, blind, No matter how you face the climb. I'll never go back to who I was before, That old me is dead, she's here no more. The rope bridges burn, the ashes start to fall, You won't find the past in my face at all. [Verse 2] You see the smoke, it climbs into the sky, The ashes of my past are burning high. You see the waves, they drift along the stream, My traces drown inside the foggy dream. [Final Chorus] I'll never go back to who I was before, That old me is dead, she's here no more. [Outro] The fog will swallow every trace of the past, And waves will wash the blood away at last.
