Memories, poisoning my thoughts
Draining that which keeps me alive
And we still try to pretend
And let it all pass by, like it's alright
I can see into you, a river flowing inside
Overrun by despair fought with hope
But your hope cannot hide
All this that you strive to survive
Weakening stability underscored
Overplayed and crumbling your soul
I myself have tried, and failed to control
So the search renews, and you're left alone
Transition masks your deep division
>From the queen of your world
Banished to the depths of your hole
Dug by allies of your own
In this late hour you will see
All I offered, that you threw away
Is all that can save you
Save you from the grasp of fate
Hope survives, but in no way thrives
What did I leave you with for all time
A word, a phrase, a lifetime of pain
Deal, with it, all your life
And one day, you may find
All you pray to avoid, alive in your eyes
Confrontation aids only one
Withholding lies, a fight thats been done
