Stain
Hes only moving forward
Every moment framed like novelty
He scrubs but the memories remain
Cant wash away the lingering pain
If he's the shepherd will we rally?
Well you would choose to sleep immortal, wash the future from your brain
Watch you slink down moonlit alleys
Every atom of his body tears through choices he refrains
But hes only moving forward
Every moment framed like novelty
He scrubs but the memories remain
A feeling that nobody could feign
Pass the bottle of aletheia
The shackles of the past still enough strength to restrain
Try to scatter all the pieces
Indulging in a pretense, so tomorrow is retained
Cause hes only moving forward
Every moment he tries so hard to frame like abstract novelty
Scrubs hard but the memories remain
Wants to wash away himself, from the future
he's a stain
