Construct a better me

You'll long to see

My parts have gone missing

Scattered like debris

Across a world that I once called my own



Six feet deep jealous of the world above

No longer wander the streets

No more talk of love

On bridges meant for better feet



I once thought I would do you proud

You run your mouth off

Do you think you're talking to me?



I can't sleep when everything I ever believed

Was broken and stolen from me

Conversing with new ghosts to replace me

I hope they cherish you when they share your sheets

'Cause lord knows that I would give my life



Believe me giving up was easy

I try but you can never see me

In your dreams my memory lives on



Even when I'm gone

The more I look I see an enemy

You'll never put your arms around this memory

I've charted your weakness your terror has ended

I'll rescue the pieces and mend all the damage



Did you think that it was going to change?

Every name that you burned and buried all along the way

Don't ask don't tell

Who needs details

When the lives you wreck are the lives that will prevail
