lyrics

I'll never shed another tear again

Shhh….

Forget every word I've ever spoken
I don't forgive or feel forgiven
No arms around me hold me closer
I don't need oxytocin to hold me over
Shut every door I've ever opened
Shoulda had my lips sewn shut
So I couldn't've swallowed those forbidden potions
Often hostile, always wanton
Didn't listen
Options wanted, promptly trodden
Bit the blister
Digging filthy fingers deep within my cold skin
To rip withered splinters from the bottom of my guilty heart
Also known as the broken
Tree where the fruit of my labor blossoms rotten
Oh, what a dream it would be to be forgotten

Disregarded
Unaccomplished
No contact
And no conflicts
Oh what a dream it would be to be forgotten

I won't return the things I borrowed
Unfilled expectations don't bring me sorrow
I won't sleep tonight, I can't face tomorrow
And all these skilled observations only bring me sorrow
Memories won't let me be
Oh what a joy it would be to not be me
And I didn't leave a legacy
And you didn't hear this elegy
And I didn't have to feel empathy
And I didn't have to feel empty
Heaven nor hell need grant me entry

Sparser
Darker
I've long overplayed my part in this farce
I'm a method actor in a twenty two year tenure
As an asshole character with failure in my nature
Engaging in negative ventures
Slave to behavior
I can't place where my faith went
Blackened by hatred
I put my back to my statements
Slacking in complacence
Skating on the razor's edge
Waiting for the end

Forget every word I've ever spoken
Lose every word I ever wrote
Oh, what a dream it would be to be forgotten
Not even a ghost
