In Memoriam

Time after time I watch you burn
Fueling a flame with no concern
Do you feel the grip of guilt
Closing in around your neck?

Are you so far fucking gone
That it makes no difference?
Lack of sorrow and empathy
This home feels so empty

So hold your image to the clouds
And swear to your God that you'll never come down
So keep your head to the clouds
And swear you'll never come down
Fade yourself out from the crippling doubt

So this is how it goes
Pretend that no one knows
So this is how it goes
Pretend that no one knows
You've grown frail and feeble
You found God in a needle
You've grown frail and feeble
You found God

I watched you burn
Your eyes lit like the reddest sunrise
At sunset, you come alive
Yet so vacant inside

I can't save you
You have to save yourself
The choice was made
Finding comfort in hell
Compelled to save you
I watched you apparate
Twisting my love
Into something I hate

Are you sleeping
Can you hear me

I hope it fills your ears so you never sleep again

I swear to fucking Christ I tried
To always stand by your side
I loved you
I swear to God I love you
Please take it back
I can't take it anymore
I've watched you burn everyday
Since you walked out the door

Don't do this,
How could you
Leave me here alone
(You left me here alone)
I couldn't save you
(I can't save you)
Just set me free
And stay the fuck away from me

Time after time
I watched you burn
And in the flames
I saw who you once were

I swear to fucking Christ I tried
To always stand by your side
I loved you
I swear to God I love you
