There is a song you cannot sing
It speaks of truth and wicked things
You keep it locked up in a spiral notebook
Its words are scratched but legible
Calls of events regrettable
A simple story of what you foresook
There is a priest above your grave
He is at loss of what to say
Confirmations of a saviorless faith
The wind blows through your empty house
And whips the ghosts trying to get out
At night those ghosts, they swim inside your head
There is a man outside your house
His arms are long and grace the ground
You dare not speak his name for he might hear you
Your eyes are strained but dare not shut
The lights outside have all but
Abandoned you to this dreary mess
There is a poem written in ink
It lies unfinished near the kitchen sink
You wish to finish but it won't let you
You learned to tie a noose today
In case you ever need an embrace
The God you pray to simply lets it all happen
There is a tree with a single swing
It stands deserted until spring
When all the children, they will end this winter
You use to play there years ago
But now it's gone and no one knows
What you did or where it went, but I do
And there is a thought inside your head
Leaving questions left to be fed
You try so hard but you fail all your tests
The sounds you make are deafening
The silence of a reckoning
You leave me no choice but to bury your memory
