An old tombstone slinking off into the lake behind it The tiny graveyard forgotten by everyone who knew the plots Forgotten by time Forgotten by the city Forgotten behind forestry Reclaimed by nature The right corner shattered Erasing her last name forever Now 'Cynthia Fe-' Her swimming tombstone in the back Reaching to the waters The calm waves splash against it I bet she was a swimmer. "Gone but not forgotten" Sounds like sarcastic graffiti But can you be forgotten by everyone And not lost?

Ghostly Swim
An old tombstone slinking off into the lake behind it The tiny graveyard forgotten by everyone who knew the plots Forgotten by time Forgotten by the city Forgotten behind forestry Reclaimed by nature The right corner shattered Erasing her last name forever Now 'Cynthia Fe-' Her swimming tombstone in the back Reaching to the waters The calm waves splash against it I bet she was a swimmer. "Gone but not forgotten" Sounds like sarcastic graffiti But can you be forgotten by everyone And not lost?
