paid in quarters - Nostalgia

It all used to make sense
But those are days gone by
I should be over it
But i still need more time
Whenever I close my eyes
It's still your face i see
You may not be around
But you still have a hold of me

Every once in a while
My brain will go away
And bury itself in times
That it now deems were great
Doesn't matter that then
Things were still crumbling down
All that matters to me
Is that they're not right now

Nostalgia, you freeze me to my core
Romanticizing what never worked before
Nostalgia, you're a menace and a thief
You take away the poison but you leave me with the grief

Following that line down
I'm sure today will seem
All pleasant rosy and pure
In future memory
I wonder am i alone
In this self-fulfilling loop?
Tunneling constantly down
Assured of my own doom

Now, this is an exercise in self-awareness
I know tomorrow could be brighter

Nostalgia, you freeze me to my core
Romanticizing what never worked before
Nostalgia, you're a menace and a thief
You take away the poison and you leave me with the grief
