Crooked Walls - City State

Faith misplaced

I grew accustomed to the life you gave

But after all these years

You were lying to my face

Corrupted by the one you called

«You have nothing to worry about»

Do you feel whole now?

After leaving us trapped between these crooked walls

Do you feel whole now?

While abandoning me, you forgot responsibility

Time moved slowly

As the echo faded softly

You know I tried

But your words still lost their life

When meaning left me

In our shattered debris

I hope your choices haunt you for eternity

We were left with the ghost of what could be

When I see you in my dreams my skin crawls

Knowing that a broken home is all she’s seen

Till you were dead inside

You covered up your lies

Back then we cared for each other

Now you’re the mother that’s abandoned her daughter

I can live without you

But what you don’t realize is she shouldn’t have to

The delusion of grandeur that fills your head

They’re only bringing you to the end

Look what you’ve become

You gave it all up

We were left with the ghost of what could be

When I see you in my dreams my skin crawls

Knowing that a broken home is all she’s seen

Haunted by regret

You’ll walk the earth alone

Lost to the family you’d know

If you had remained loyal and unbroken

Your choices will lead you to your end

I know your conscience will rot with the grief you’ve caused

You abandoned us but I’m glad you’re gone

But I’m glad you’re gone
