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
