Eyes forward We don't speak of the past Hands stretch out Burrowing into an open mouth These hungry hearts eat spit So breathe deeper In promises I couldn't keep This is a pact You were dependent On an exit I caught you at the wheel asleep You took step in my direction But now you're losing sight of me So at nighttime, I haunt you Completely In floodlights, your image Befitting I'm such perfect example Such a flawed deity How the gods love to ramble And yet their tongues would never meet I'm still torn at the edges You're so simple to please And now I'm drowning in excess Disregarded in victory What place is this What kingdom What wounded world I came to hide on these shores With the treasure that I've stolen away The wealth I can never use It's the price I have to pay I am Lost To Time You were dependent On an exit I caught you at the wheel asleep You took step in my direction But now you're losing sight of me So at nighttime, I haunt you Completely In floodlights, your image Befitting And I never quite know where the ending begins You've been a ghost in my memory Ever since you went away I swallowed the embers Breathe deep the heat Write every letter When I exhale I've let identity escape me For years I've been consumed by false hope Well I can present the past Disguised in tatters Paper chains Can't hold the weight
