lyrics

Despite uncounted months of silence, still, I wait for you to say it: that you got just what you wanted from me. Despite the weight of the curse I'm under, I still walk quiet... and are you happy? I tripped and fell, without a sound, through the blanks in your story, so

here's your ferris wheel on fire. Here's your roller coaster into the ocean and my carousel in ruins where the ground collapsed,

where I tread in ghost steps, locked in time with the forgotten. It's hard to look alive when you feel so haunted with your voice: fading, your face: already fallen through. A year of vigil, wasted loss, before I lost the name it was attached to.

And I shudder, I suffer, as the loudness of absence trails me– it deafens, dulling like a shadow. So sickened, 'cause when I see you, I choose to

with your voice, fading, with your face, so soon fallen through. A year in vigil, wasted loss, before I lost the name it was attached to.

On a September afternoon, I ended my circle at the start (by the sunken pier) and I let all 100 names part, taken from my hand by the esurient sea. All those empty envelopes from some other town, I scattered the stacks and I believed it would free me.

But three days later, the boardwalk burned and every licking flame said: "You can't forget so easily! There is no redemption here."
