lyrics

You held me up onto your shoulders, high enough to touch the clouds.
I reached as far as my arms would let me, never to come back down.
But still you held me by my ankles, a grip as tight as hell.
Then descension rose up swiftly.
You flung me back into the well.
You broke my perfect shell.
Fragmented like ceramic, my true shape was put on display.
The others laughed at me, so vicious, to my awful dismay.
You had no chance to love me.
You had no choice to make.
You had a lot to process.
You had a lot at stake.
The past, you thought an option.
An option you thought safe.
And now I'm left behind with failure.
I'm buried in your wake.
No picture left to paint.
Such lofty words from an arrogant pawn.
Every word I uttered: Valueless, discarded, worthless, and wrong.
They say the night is darkest just before the dawn.
But fuck your half-hearted web of error.
Fuck your unintentional condescension.
Fuck your calamitous well intent.
Fuck the praises you sang.
Fuck the things you never meant.
Hunt with false praise.
Strike this false flame.
My false first name.
My false last name.
Hunt me with this false praise.
Strike me with this false praise.
Give me my false first name.
Give me my false last name.
Shoot me with this false aim.
Stake me with this false claim.
These false claims...
So now I'll repair these holes that you left.
Maybe one day our paths will converge again, this time with hope.
