How perfect you are
So round and so small
Promising my spirit, I could forget it all
Consume me, you cry
Wait, what did I hear
Consume me, you cry louder, for do not fear
Forget, you whisper and so quietly sigh
Contempt filled with promise of saying goodbye
Amnesia, I remind you, as I swallow you whole
Bring death to me quickly before he knocks on our door
My reliable friend, for far, far too long
I needed you to cope, but just couldn’t go on
I grew weak and too weary
My spirit did fall
For my son has left me, and my heart he took all
Just surface now for those who know
The true depth of a soul is so far below
Don’t weep
Don’t cry
It wasn’t your fault
I just wasn’t strong enough to continue the walk

Amnesia, I remind you, as I swallow you whole
Bring death to me quickly before he knocks on our door
My reliable friend, for far, far too long
I needed you to cope, but just couldn’t go on
I grew weak and too weary
My spirit did fall
For my son has left me, and my heart he took all
Just surface now for those who know
The true depth of a soul is so far below
Don’t weep
Don’t cry
It wasn’t your fault
I just wasn’t strong enough to continue the walk
