I hope, I forget
Intangible, running faster than the time,
and in the middle of my reality, I am living a lie,
like you'll come out and tell me you are mine.
But I am so tired, tired of the wind and this sky,
tired of never being able to tell you why.
Left my skylight open, cause it's hard to hide,
you know everything, except what I thought you now realize.
Talking to my friends,
talking to the God who disappears,
talking to you,
cause you did put me here,
still supposing that you might come back and slay what I fear.
Irreplaceable, you know all my blindsides,
and I might compose you a rhyme, this wouldn't be my first time,
but I won't, I am not even entitled to be here.
I know brown eyes, I know what you look like when you lie,
I know you by heart, I know everything you think you did hide.
Talking to the liars,
talking to the God who disappears,
talking to you,
cause you left me here,
still hoping that you might come back and slay what I fear.
Strong, cause I've been weak,
inviolable, come to see me with the mist,
untouchable, the memories we once made,
uncertain, my courage, I hope I forget.
