Follow him
Swallow your insides
Hollow man
- her broken heart
She'll never forget
whilst you struggle to remember
She'll never forget
That you didn't want to know
She'll never forget
The heart that she showed you
on her sleeve
But you just let her go
Follow him - his
shallow deception
Hollow things
- She shouldn't have learnt
Bitter sweets - the pills that she swallows
Yet your ignorance is the 'why' that she hurts
And you still laugh. You still...
She'll never forget
whilst you struggle to remember
She'll never forget
That you didn't want to know
She'll never forget
The heart that she showed you
on her sleeve
But you just let her go
You just let her go
Yeah, you just let her go
Just leave me alone
I know you’re alone, deep inside.
I saw you cry as I touched the window.
I pressed my head against the glass, and you fell to your knees.
I just hope you’ll get through this without me.
… and I know what you’re feeling because I feel it too.
This separation – this heart-broken silence leading to tears.
Somehow, you’ll recover.
You’ll find out a way to smile long enough to keep the pain away.
… and it won’t be long now until you find your peace, resting easily, falling asleep at midnight to dream.
I just hope you’ll remember me.
Cold, tingling skin.
The betrayal of warmth.
Wishful thinking.
You've worn my pale skin for too long - undress.
Take off those boots of mine - I'm unimpressed.
For a single second just listen to what I've said.
A bullet ricochets through my mind and your head.
So, I’m a loser in your eyes.
Isn't that the thing you so despise?
A long time in the making.
My disease is taking me away.
… and you don’t get to see the fact
that I’m suffering to get you back.
Your shallow thoughts and friends today
may never see what we have made.
… something unforgettable, something irreplaceable.
But never mind, just carry on.
A jealous life – emotional.
… and there’s something you will never see;
me in my entirety.
Underneath me –
her.
Lumps, bumps – bones.
Mistaken growths and her
inability to lose hope
when all seems lost.
Just let go.
Drop.
No.
Claws – deep within the cracks
of walls she has yet to conquer…
Unbelievable screams.
Always.
Underneath –
her; flesh.
Separate.
Fragile self.
Fragile.
Who?
