Lyrics
I feel like my feet have forgotten the way to your door
I feel lost and unsure how to reach you.
I have my hands and my words but what are they for
Despite having the means to communicate, I question their purpose.
And you said you thought I was cute but I'm just a cut flower
Your compliment doesn't match my self-perception; I feel delicate and transient.
And every second's an hour
Time drags on painfully.
We scream, scream, that wasn't the way that it was
We express frustration; reality doesn't align with our expectations.
I believe beauty was drowned in because
I believed in beauty, but it seems drowned out by harsh realities.
My mix and match memory has managed to make you a god
My memories shape you into a deity through selective recollection.
And everything else I forgot
Many details are forgotten or overlooked.
Goodbye
Farewell to a perceived 'good guy' or positive influence.
Goodbye
-Goodbye
-Goodbye good guy
-I want to tell someone invisible that it's not fair
I want to express my grievances to an unseen listener.
We're made up of moments and fingernails, toenails and hair
We consist of mundane elements; the essence of our being is overlooked.
And in between be and begin and a jail of clay
Existence is caught between 'be' and 'begin,' resembling a confining structure.
How can you love me anyway?
Questioning the possibility of love given our inherent flaws.
Goodbye
Reiteration of the farewell to the 'good guy.'
Goodbye
-Goodbye
-Goodbye good guy
-Something was hovering over you boy, just then
A moment of revelation about the person, possibly disillusionment.
You scolded me, told me don't bother, and vanished again
Dismissal and disappearance despite my plea.
And everything perfect you said was just mirrors and wires
Realization that previous positive remarks were insincere.
You look left, I was right
A disconnection between our perspectives.
Here with my feet in my fire
Feeling isolated and possibly hurt.
Goodbye
Repeating the farewell, emphasizing the finality of the departure.
Goodbye
-Goodbye
-Goodbye good guy
-Goodbye
Final farewell and acceptance of the goodbye.
Goodbye
-Goodbye
-Goodbye
