Lonely Nights And Memories

written by: Matt Watson

She said, "I will never walk away again!"
As she ran away and broke my heart.
She said, "I don't love you - I, I never did."
And she ran away, leaving me here all alone.

Why did it have to happen?
How can I find the missing piece?
Will-will she come around again?
Or am I forever frozen in the cold?

He said, "I'd do anything for you!"
She said, "It's just not enough, you know."
I felt it was all a game, all a trick
Yet I still tried to hold on,
As I fell into pieces, shattered to pieces
I couldn't hear anything over her laughter.

Yeah, I feel the pain, and then it all goes numb.
Cause I can't feel what I don't want to believe,
And I can't feel when you can't hear this heart,
Beating so loud, calling out, but never heard.
Never noticed, ignored. Always neglected, I-I
Seem to always now be hiding.

Now, I-I can't seem to hear my breathing,
So quick and furious it may seem.
I've held this knife, in bone-white knuckles,
In a palm of crimson tears, in a world controlled
By this inner beast, this burdened fear.

It reaches out, and devours everything real,
Until my world is turned upside-down, it's all so unreal.
And my world is in my head, it's dark, and still -
As still as the blood in my distilled heart.
As quiet as the single tear that bursts out,
As loud and chaotic as it shatters - merges in the crimson -
Crimson blood upon my palm, hiding my pain,
For another sweet unsavored day.
Another nightmare of decay.
