Shadows crept in to where eaves groan
I ate my own heart so it can't be known
They'll hold a vigil, or maybe they won't
Either way, I won't let it matter or show
To whom I pray, where the weeds grow
Of what's now left to decay, what I neglect
Happy was the emotion I strived to project
But my songs were too idealistic to sing
Composed as they were by heart strings
I swear I'm not bitter
I'm just a touch jaded
Sure, it'll get better
Because they promised
It shouldn't be debated
Shadows are crowding all available space
I swallowed my tongue, I erased my face
Maybe they'll remember, or maybe forget
Either way, I won't let it sting or connect
