I want every trace of him gone So I burn a piece of him Hoping the memories cling onto the flames, the way my heart held onto The warmth in the eyes, his body Erasure I want every trace of him gone I call out to him to retrieve his things To silence the taunting of what it Never was Erasure I burn the countless love letters I had written Hoping it’d quiet the intrusive thoughts And **** any lingering feelings Erasure Let it ******* burn. I watch US Burn.

Erasure
I want every trace of him gone So I burn a piece of him Hoping the memories cling onto the flames, the way my heart held onto The warmth in the eyes, his body Erasure I want every trace of him gone I call out to him to retrieve his things To silence the taunting of what it Never was Erasure I burn the countless love letters I had written Hoping it’d quiet the intrusive thoughts And **** any lingering feelings Erasure Let it ******* burn. I watch US Burn.
