Shius - Melancholic but Not Sad

Melancholic, but not sad
I gazed into the night sky walking back home to my apartment flat
My earphones still in my pockets I was alone with my thoughts
There was this smell in the air that made me think of home
Not a place that I liked, nor a place I remember
When I looked up for a sign I saw the stars above

It's the little things that get me, little details in this world
All grounded in today while I still live in the past
Although I've bent to the weight, and I can't stand to face the truth
Melancholic but not sad, I see the stars above

It feels like years since I've been there, in a place I thought was safe
Kinda funny how I lost what I had clung to the most
In a fire of abandon, all my bridges burned to ash
On a cliff there was a crumbling road but no way home
If I turn back I will fall, if I stay here I will die
No incentive to live, yet I trudge on my way
Without an end to this path, all I want is to go home
There's no exit in sight, and yet I cling onto hope

It's the little things that get me, little details in this world
All grounded in today while I still live in the past
Although I've bent to the weight, and I can't stand to face the truth
Melancholic but not sad, I see the stars above

Melancholic, but not sad
I gazed into the night sky walking back home to my apartment flat
My earphones still in my pockets I was alone with my thoughts
There was this smell in the air that made me think of home

Melancholic but not sad, feels like its been forever
I've always walked towards a sanctuary I've never known
Melancholic but not sad, either give up or go
The day I stop moving forward, is the day that I die
Melancholic but not sad, I keep on looking up
It's the details that will get to me, until the very end.
I am bleeding and I'm bent - but somehow I am not broken
Melancholic but not sad, I see the stars above

It's the little things that get me, little details in this world
All grounded in today while I keep moving forward
Though I don't know what's in store - though I know I may give up
There is some peace in the idea that I did what I could
I will fight until the end - it's the way I want to go
Melancholic but not sad, I keep on walking on
Melancholic but not sad, I keep on looking up
Melancholic but not sad, I see the stars above
