Carbon Copy Memory

Take down every picture,
Hanging up inside the empty aisle.
Every memory is lost,
Along with your smile.
Replace them with the friends you made,
Then take your drugs and celebrate.
Tonight will be the last time you ever see my face.
All this time was such a waste,
I can't forget the heartache.
I won't forget the things you did,
But I hope you can for your sake.
And if I stayed alone,
These last three years I’d be unknown,
To empty states and holy ghosts.
I’d be alone, I’d be alone.
If I left behind,
These nighttime drives and endless nights,
I know I’d have a better life.
I’d be at home, I’d be at home.
I wonder how your heart is,
Does it hurt just like my head?
Anxiety is crippling,
Just like you always said.
My friends just say it’s okay,
That you were never worth my time.
But damn it’s so impossible to have that frame of mind.
And if I stayed alone,
These last three years I’d be unknown,
To empty states and holy ghosts.
I’d be alone, I’d be alone.
If I left behind,
These nighttime drives and endless nights,
I know I’d have a better life.
I’d be at home, I’d be at home.
Every picture,
A carbon copy memory.
I’ll store them away,
In a box that reads “Rest In Peace.”
You’re green with envy,
The jealousy you have for me.
I’m finally happy,
Something you could never be.

I lost track of time as I fell in your eyes.
You lost your interest as I gained mine.
Remember you told me you wanted more?
Oh, all the potential you threw out the door.
All we are is misery,
If all we are is history.
So what made you think to leave me here?
Was it love or was it fear?
And now it’s your birthday and nobody’s home.
I hope you know that you’re all alone.
All we are is misery,
If all we are is history.
Even if it’s just in your sleep,
Please just don’t me.
Sorry if I just said too much.
It’s just been hard since we lost touch.
The days are now darker without you my dear.
Oh what I’d give to have you here.
All we are is misery,
If all we are is history.
And if you want to just be free,
Just don’t ever fall asleep.

Take these hands,
And turn them into stone.
Maybe then,
I won’t pick up the phone when you call.
I looked up to you,
From below.
Idolatry was strong in me,
It took from me everything.
My heart and my soul.
I’m just a name,
And that’s all.
So cut my face, from every picture frame,
And every thought you’ve ever spoken.
If you didn’t shed a tear, my dear,
Your heart was never broken.
