Verse 1
I comfort myself by convincing myself that there’s certain things I could never unsay,
then I ruminate on those words everyday, and how they could have changed anything.
Incurring in thoughts I should leave alone;
accustomed to evenings spent on my own.
A mind that’s in decay, disowns and preys on its own.
Chorus
I’ve been searching for peace where I can’t find any.
I’ve torn myself to pieces to make you feel whole.
These feelings are irrational,
and hardly any affable to us,
so I’ll stray,
increasingly until I barely have a reason to stay.
Verse 2
I tried to find a word to describe it,
the closest I could find was “sonder”.
I am suddenly more aware of how you feel,
and I think it's time I leave;
my thoughts require some assembly.
Perhaps it’s best that I go off by myself, while you figure out what's best for you and me.
A mind that’s been disowned, decays and prays on its own.
Chorus
I’ve been searching for peace where I can’t find any.
I’ve torn myself to pieces to make you feel whole.
These feelings are irrational,
and hardly any affable to us,
so I’ll stray,
increasingly until I barely have a reason to stay.
Bridge
and I know it's best that we go separate ways,
and I know things haven't been all that great with us.
We're in a state of despondency.
It's still hard to let go from what could have been
when my heart holds you close with an iron grip.
I fell in love, we fell apart.
If you want to get even, just move on.
Chorus
I’ve been searching for peace where I can’t find any.
I’ve torn myself to pieces to make you feel whole.
These feelings are irrational,
and hardly any affable to us,
so I’ll stray,
increasingly until I barely have a reason to stay.
Outro
I feel myself full of doubt,
but I know it's best that we reroute.
It's hard to accept it.
Of all those things I’ve done without,
you’re the one I'll still think about.
If you want to get even, just move on.

As you’ve heard plenty of times before, we’re Hechael — pronounced ‘Heckle’. We’re nothing but two friends geographically
scattered, coming together every few months to create art that imitates our lives, or whatever versa. Every ‘what if’ we’ve thrown into our conversations has lead to plans we couldn’t have anticipated — like starting this project as a whole.
