forgotten god

Sirens flying past my dorm every day
I feel you when I hear the horns ablaze
Flash to us sitting on the curb
Under a streetlight
My mom was so mad I was out all night

Told ya I'm m-moving out and I said a little prayer
You got me on my knees and disappeared in thin air
That's my cross to bear

You could've been god the way I worshipped you
Redefining the divine until it isn't true
I trust you'll survive, I've been forgotten too
You'll live like a forgotten god

They said wishing on stars was juvenile
But I find a bit more peace in the real and the wild
Ain't it strange looking at something that's so far away
Makes the distance between us a little less insane

Told ya I'm m-moving out and you didn't give a shit
I laid my soul bare and you took off with half of it
The apple has been bit

You could've been god
The way I worshipped you
Redefining the divine until it isn't true
I trust you'll survive, I've been forgotten too
You'll live like a forgotten god

Personify my faith in little more than a man
The correlated name with all of my ruined plans
I'd have cut my face to fit the palm of your hand
You cruel callous forgotten god
Oh holy friend, I think it's starting to show
I'd endure the suffering to safeguard the unknown
Damn it all, pretend that I left you for your growth
You cruel callous forgotten god
Oh you cool cruel callous forgotten god
My cruel callous forgotten god

Told ya I'm running away in about a week or two
I didn't mention that I'd stay if you asked me to
Nothing hurts like the truth

You could've been god
The way I worshipped you
Redefining the divine until it isn't true
I trust you'll survive, I've been forgotten too
You'll live like a forgotten god
Forgotten god, forgotten god
You'll live on as my forgotten god
