Is this who I am?
Or, who I’ve become?
These words, that I’ve sung,
They are not, of one and one.
What do you remember?
Relive all your mistakes?
Like a fire, reduced to embers,
Like a sleep you cannot awake.
People don’t forget,
And, people don’t forget,
Until, your bones meet the earth,
Until, your ash leaves its wind’s worth,
People don’t forget,
And it’s getting harder to forgive.
How does one go on?
When there is no voice for song?
Like the lyre’s constant hum,
With the horsemen’s beating drum.
Well, I hear that there’s a place,
For those who kneel, at their own fate,
It’s an altar, wrought of disgrace,
Sacrificed on one’s silken lace,
“The Truth does not change.”
People don’t forget,
And, people don’t forget,
Until, your bones meet the earth,
Until, your ash leaves its wind’s worth,
People don’t forget,
And it’s getting harder to forgive.
People don’t forget,
And, people don’t forget,
Hell is not others to know,
Hell is one’s self, to be shown,
And, while we strive to rearrange,
“The Truth does not change.”
