The Contrary - Overexposed lyrics

[Verse 1] Instant flash with the picture startled me Now there's an elephant in the room Been talking to myself Chasing memories like the wind These portraits self-captioned and words self-captured Are not moments to own But now it's time to leave memory lane And run from the shame [Chorus 1] And with these photographs Are blemishes from the past Apologies for being rash The eternal itch for your attention Leaves me to realize My sought-after peace of mind [Hook] Was in letting go and stopping to think Of how to pull myself together It's time to push forward No holding back [x2] [Verse 2] Spinning round and round This carousel charges by the fees With the vicious cycle Of all my inconsistencies Tested day and night Wrong seems right- Yet the Proctor will see you through So now it's time to leave memory lane Defame the blame With no shame [Chorus 2] And with these photographs Are imperfections from the past Sorry for having said too much For the little i am left with Leaves me to realize My sought-after peace of mind [Hook] [Bridge: Instrumental] [Chorus 3] And with these photographs Are flaws from the past My mistake was running out of time Without watching the clock, i just am Left to realize The right peace of mind Was in letting go
