d***atio Memoraie Lyrics

I'll act as if I forget
and teach myself to subdue regret
I'll deny the faces of the strangers I meet
even those who mirror, eyes wide in disbelief
I'll numb the pain I feel
and expertly suppress and conceal
I'll ingnore the darkness to herald the dawn
and a**ume permanence: another conclusion foregone...

distractions surround me
procrastinations tearing me from what matters most
until I realize it's far too late
and through countless days
so terrified to feel afraid
to know that you'd been left alone
reveals to me who has been betrayed

if I try to remember your voice
and unlearn the result of an imperfect choice
if I affirm the embrance of the love I've denied
even if it absorbs the dread in my mind

if I find calm and appeal
to understand accept and reveal
If I absorb the light and no longer pretend
could I accept that our last goodbye was the end?
distractions surround me
insicere prostrations tearing me from what matters most
until I realize it's far too late
but sometimes having dreamt of what's slipped by
I wake up in flames
and in that quiet moment before I remeber the lie
its as if the past could be regained

what If I promised to catch your tears while you wept
kiss your face as you slept in my arms
licked your wounds
made you whole
promised I'd never leave you alone?
let no one take you
let nothing break you
cherish your every move
absorb myself into you
would that be enough to bring you back to me
so I could pull you close
and just feel you... breathe

my love for you is a secret love
it knows no depths

you're so close
within reach

you're no breathing...
