Aperture by Amongst Heroes Lyrics

How could you take this away?
I thought we agreed this meant everything
Worked so hard just to meet expectations
But in the end we lost all aspirations
This was a let down
Broken, haunted memories surrounding me
On the edge of the cliff on the mountain steep
I can only achieve my dreams when I'm fast asleep

Waking up to find that I've been dreaming
All of this time put to waste
If I could turn back the clock and erase this pain
I would scorch this earth and salt what remains

Reframe and focus the picture on what's come to pass
We raised an empire built on sand
It's crumbling down, it's all crumbling now
Now all that's left is a fractured disappointment
I don't understand, this is not what I'd planned
When will I make my mark?
Once an outcast and on my own
I finally thought I had found a home
When push came to shove, it just wasn't enough
I'm about to lose everything I love

Waking up to find that I've been dreaming
All of this time put to waste
If I could turn back the clock and erase this pain
I would scorch this earth and salt what remains

I'm tired of waking up to find
That my dreams are hiding in my mind
I'm awake and taking what is mine
The nightmare is finally over
(I'm awake)
I'm taking back what is mine
Fuck

I'm taking back what is mine
