I try to write about you Try to sing like I used to Rattling breath Wheezing and violent The defeated silence I lost my voice Somewhere along the way I stopped being everything You insist you love But are you just in love With set paths Predictable roads Are you just in love With not being alone Deep down I think you suffer like me There’s voices whispering Telling you you will never be loved And this is your last chance too I tried to sing I thought pulling out What my old voice wrote Would remind me what I sound like But instead I’m in silent tears Note after note Verse after verse Black and white it’s written Obvious I’ll tell you about my last songs The last true voice I ever had I sung our fears I sung my truth It’s so cliche To say im broken But the evidence is too damning We’ve always been doomed I sing about a last great defeat Blades that ran me through I sung about a soul tearing A destruction of self I cannot be in love My missing pieces have not grown back Fires ravaged the forest I grew After evil hands tore them up Right to the roots Black black black Loss loss loss I guess I never really moved forward The memories are fleeting If they ever come up I have forgotten the details But the belief The shattering The robbing of self Has come with me all this time The labels given to me I wear as a crown Of metal and debris Announcing to all I am Beautiful Tragic Lost

I have lost myself. I don’t know how you claim to love me when I’m lost
