Dissolve - City State

I feel my walls caving in

Stuck in the past that haunts me for my sins

Memory fades away

Stuck in a liars embrace

My pulse is deafening

Counting down till the moment I open my eyes

Nothing can save me

How could I rest with the knowledge

That I can’t let go of my contempt?

I held it in

You dissolved the bones that kept me going

And honestly I lost faith myself

Tore the skin from my back

But it wasn’t enough and there was nothing left

And in the end we’ll crawl on hands and knees

To find relief in our ill intentioned peace

Take my breath and watch me scream

I’ll say the words that will set you free

You watched me fall apart

Helped yourself to the wreckage

Took what you wanted and left me to drown

Left me to begin to rot from the inside out

I gave it all to you

You watch me fall apart

I held on till the current crept into my lungs

But it was too late to succumb

Drown me out

Do my words mean nothing now?

Look at the mess we made

You’d rather bury me than face what we became

All i’d ever ask of you is to forget my name

Forget what we became

Memory fades away

But nothing can save me

You watched me fall apart

Helped yourself to the wreckage

Took what you wanted and left me to drown

You said it’s over and done but i’m still broken

I thought you were the words that kept me going

You were the leech that kept me on hands and knees

Your words meant nothing
