lyrics

a servant of your mind brigade
i became an accolade
thought that i could one day save
everyones lives

everything was always small
dreams a billion stories tall
we got lost in of it all
and forgot to build the stairs

i got left behind
you got left behind too
what else was left to do
but to follow the line

i got left behind
you got left behind too
what else was left to do
but clear my own mind

i saw darkness creeping in
couldn’t close door to it
seeped right through the cracks we left
underneath the door

i tried my best to carry through
hiked up my socks and carried you
but i got lost in sickness too
and we both fall down

i got left behind
you got left behind too
what else was left to do
but to follow the line

i got left behind
you got left behind too
what else was left to do
but clear my own mind 
i see the darkest shadow drawn
underneath our shaggy lawn
a home we’d built once now is gone
and i chose to tear it down

everything inside of me
hopes for what the future brings
you have choices too, you see
you don’t have to be alone

i got left behind
you got left behind too
what else was left to do
but to follow the line

i got left behind
you got left behind too
what else was left to do
but clear my own mind

i got left behind
you got left behind
i got left behind
you got left behind
