Cracking As Broken Toys

Picking up my phone, the voice recalls my memories
Sweet talker across the line, hey... it's been a while
Days running, things change, here we are aloof in our boundaries

Trapped within our history, now we play the role of our guile 
The way you speak is like negating the past
Sweet talker across the line, hey... it's been a while

Hurting each other became the story of our last
The lampblack dwell beneath the wounds, torn by the pain that we cost
The way you speak is like negating the past

We tired in our drama, we trapped in our anger loft
Burnt by the old grudge, how can we fix this dust?
The lampblack dwell beneath the wounds, torn by the pain that we cost

Standing limp on the ruin of us
Now we are broken toys if you still want to play, it's up to you
Burnt by the old grudge, how can we fix this dust?

Still in the past memory I flew
Now we are broken toys if you still want to play, it's up to you
Picking  up my phone, the voice recalls my memories
Days running, things change, here we are aloof in our boundaries

A lot of abstract images here. I like the implications of a relationship that used to be spectacular... but now it's something like old toys... you could pick them up and play with them again, but because of time passing it just doesn't feel the same anymore... "Now we are broken toys if you still want to play, it's up to you"... it's hard to describe how that line makes me feel. Sad? Nostalgic? Hopeful?... poetry to chew on methinks.

for that verse, it's like an option that you could choose, sometimes a friendship not always been that good, when you already take a choice to play it, play it good, if you prefer not, drop it otherwise you make it worse :) nice to have a brilliant thought by you Tim, hug, yanny
