BEHIND THE MEMORIES

Tell me there is nothing about me
Other than what I wish to be
To be nothing
Let me depart with some dignity
Wither away just like the leaves
Can't leave something

Behind the memories
Made with the haunted trees
I don't know which way to go
All I know is what's below
All of the memories
Among all of the grief
I don't know which way to go
Lost within the whispered echoes

My remains are in my tomb empty
At least I'm what I'm meant to be
To be something
Other than what you believe of me
To be everything you can't be
Like me, nothing

Behind the memories
Made with the haunted trees
I don't know which way to go
All I know is what's below
All of the memories
Among all of the grief
I don't know which way to go
Lost within the whispered echoes

Something turns to nothing
Everything and anything
Dying for a taste of life
Nothing empties something
Burying you're everything
Living on the tip of a knife

Behind the memories
Made with the haunted trees
I don't know which way to go
All I know is what's below
All of the memories
Among all of the grief
I don't know which way to go
Lost within the whispered echoes
