Correspondence

Correspondence ©? 2024 Karianne Gabaldon (Verse 1) It’s an itch impossible to scratch Tears too unfeasible to cry Skin too thick to bleed A fabricator that just cannot lie In a broken, haunted courtroom The lawyer called this a case hard to crack You had banged your gavel I thought you always had my back (Chorus) And that’s the thing about correspondence It takes away all you’ve had, it’s all too intense Taken by Storm then caught in the eye And you die, and you die, and you die It’s all a lie (Verse 2) When the road hits a dead end Who’s to say whose fault it was? He won’t even be your friend All the metal has turned to rust Now you’re lovelorn but a legacy Or at least you will be someday Someone just might recognize How long it took you to escape the maze (Chorus) And that’s the thing about correspondence It takes away all you’ve had, it’s all too intense Taken by Storm then caught in the eye And you die, and you die, and you die It’s all a lie (Bridge) Your vocal cords scream, “Don’t you forget, do you remember It was me who turned your heart tender You were the insidious and traumatizing love of my life Don’t you forget, do you remember It was me who attained your September You were the morbid, existential dreadful love of my life” And you see it too I would have lived life for you But it’s all a lie (End Chorus) And that’s the thing about correspondence It takes away all you’ve had, it’s all too intense Taken by Storm then caught in the eye And you die, and you die, and you die It’s all a lie And that’s the thing about correspondence It takes away all you’ve had, it’s all too intense Taken by Storm then caught in the eye And you die, and you die, and you die It’s all a lie (Outro) “Don’t you forget, do you remember It was me who turned your heart tender You were the insidious and traumatizing love of my life Don’t you forget, do you remember It was me who attained your September You were the morbid, existential dreadful love of my life” And you see it too I would have lived life for you But it’s all a lie
