lyrics

I recall a moment of fear
When the words sliced through and became so clear
Neglected, isolated
The one forgotten, so newly jaded
I recall a moment of loss
Flashes of abandonment with nothing to emboss
Self-imposed, deserted by choice
The plea of a man with a dying voice
Obstinate stranger
I recognize your face
It all seems so familiar
But nothing more is commonplace
I received every shred of the blame
No acknowledgement, no riposte
I’m sick of fixing the fray
I’m turning my back on the fading ghost
I can see your hollow core
But I can’t find the answers anymore
I just want to know what we did to deserve this
To quiet the part of me that fights to preserve it
All these years together as family
Kept in the past as dead memories
I feel so discarded, what have I done?
What have you become?
Obstinate stranger
I recognize your face
It all seems so familiar
But nothing more is commonplace
I received every shred of the blame
No acknowledgement, no riposte
I’m sick of fixing the fray
I’m turning my back on the fading ghost
Anchors away
It’s time to let this ship sink
So I can drown while I hear you speak
I’m losing hope as I see all we’ve built
Erased.
