Forgotten
from Short Stories Vol. II by Suitcase Runaway
lyrics
I've forgotten what it's like
To hold my own,
And I've forgotten what it's like
To hear your voice on the phone.
What it's like
To mend my own soul,
Looping the stitches through
One-by-one.
Illuminated windowsills
Spell out my dreams.
The latch is jammed and the glass is thick,
So I let out a silent scream.
And I wait until the fall of night
Like a criminal in chains,
So I can stare out all the windowsills
And see my shrouded pain.
We carry ourselves oh-so-well,
But everyone has stories. Hell,
Some may be just lies!
And I want so badly to break the glass,
But another story blocks my past.
I'm afraid of what might be outside.
To hold my own,
And I've forgotten what it's like
To hear your voice on the phone.
What it's like
To mend my own soul,
Looping the stitches through
One-by-one.
Illuminated windowsills
Spell out my dreams.
The latch is jammed and the glass is thick,
So I let out a silent scream.
And I wait until the fall of night
Like a criminal in chains,
So I can stare out all the windowsills
And see my shrouded pain.
We carry ourselves oh-so-well,
But everyone has stories. Hell,
Some may be just lies!
And I want so badly to break the glass,
But another story blocks my past.
I'm afraid of what might be outside.
