The Flame of Forgetting

Lie and say you love me
No heart could ever compete
A dark cloud covers all
Lie and say you love me
Until it sounds rehearsed

Wish I could learn to live within
Your revisionist history
Turn the pages back on you, as easily
As you did me
Decide what suits me of the story
And flip the script on this
Abandoned draft of our (Lives)

Wish I could forget
Wish I could unlearn
This myth of connectivity
The question not asked
Is a stone left unturned
Waiting until you bury me
You bury me

Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish upon a star
To forget just who you are
To bury your memory
In the annals of my personal history
A phantom of listless love

And when at last
My role has been recast
Will he be yet another shade of me
Or will he be all you need
When my own lure has been cast out to water
I hope that what I uncover
Shines brighter than you ever could

Wish I could forget
Wish I could unlearn
The lie of shared experience
An issue unvoiced
Is a wound left to time
We settle until we burn

Ready to turn the page
To find what's right for me
On to the next chapter
To see what comes after
All this destruction
