The Gift of Regret by The Gatling Gun Revival Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In castles made of mother's sheets
We found all our joy in the make believe
Convinced that every dream would come true
We're taught there's nothing lurking beneath our beds
We made it up from within our heads
And brought them to life
The walls get thinner as we speak
The fields we knew as children become concrete
No success we yield
[Chorus]
So the lesser part of me’s getting cold
While the better part of me starts to fade
I feel the phantom’s breath brush upon my skin tonight
I'll leave the lights on
[Verse 2]
Between our futures and our past
The distance travelled turned out way too fast
The punchline still remains
We found the monsters in our heads are real
The gift of regret will linger on
Forgo what we once knew
With bated breath we get our fill
The diamonds in the rough are sparkling still
There's nothing left to find
[Chorus]
So the lesser part of me’s getting cold
While the better part of me starts to fade
I feel the phantom’s breath brush upon my skin tonight
Now the deeper part of me starts to drown
The shallow part comes up from the ground
The sunlight on my face has turned from red to gray tonight
I'll turn the lights off
[Outro]
On my own
To the unknown
On my own
To the unknown
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
The unknown
On my own
The unknown
On my own
The unknown
On my own
In castles made of mother's sheets
We found all our joy in the make believe
Convinced that every dream would come true
We're taught there's nothing lurking beneath our beds
We made it up from within our heads
And brought them to life
The walls get thinner as we speak
The fields we knew as children become concrete
No success we yield
[Chorus]
So the lesser part of me’s getting cold
While the better part of me starts to fade
I feel the phantom’s breath brush upon my skin tonight
I'll leave the lights on
[Verse 2]
Between our futures and our past
The distance travelled turned out way too fast
The punchline still remains
We found the monsters in our heads are real
The gift of regret will linger on
Forgo what we once knew
With bated breath we get our fill
The diamonds in the rough are sparkling still
There's nothing left to find
[Chorus]
So the lesser part of me’s getting cold
While the better part of me starts to fade
I feel the phantom’s breath brush upon my skin tonight
Now the deeper part of me starts to drown
The shallow part comes up from the ground
The sunlight on my face has turned from red to gray tonight
I'll turn the lights off
[Outro]
On my own
To the unknown
On my own
To the unknown
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
On my own
To the unknown
(Oh how we used to find such joy
Under the summer sun
We'd make believe, we'd make believe)
The unknown
On my own
The unknown
On my own
The unknown
On my own
