"Because I Believe (We) Left Eden"

I used to live my life straight out of pages
Written down by holy ghosts and sages
But some of it, I admit, lost in translation
Like love speaks loudest when you don't even say it

I left you in the dust, my friend
Without a single word, I hid
I guess my only regret, is maybe that
I never loved you the way that you needed

All those words filled up my mind
My head so heavy that my eyes went blind
If choice is really all the reason for this fight
Why did I let someone else decide

I used to be a kid so full of passion
But now it seems like that ambition's rationed
Not knowing where to invest, I detest it
My actions paint how much I'm double-minded

I left you in the dust, my friend
Without a single word, I hid
I guess my only regret, is maybe that
I was never the friend that you sorely needed

All those words filled up my mind
My head so heavy that my eyes went blind
Tunnel vision for the things I wanted in my life
When it was standing there the whole time

This life, is a broken mess and bleeding
But there's hope, for those that want to see it
I decide, always mindful of that teaching
Because I believe we left Eden

Those men, they lived
And wrote it down
It sits in front of me now
Their words
First hand accounts
I think I'll go and make mine now
