memory of the death of hope
this time, one cycle
back to a ghost in solitude
always feeding then retreating
bury this in shallow meaning
take and take and then accuse
your hollow actions all a ruse
you're bludgeoned with the truth you seek
not good enough so fucking weak
so change your face and change your stance
won't change the fact that you're a fucking
skinwalker
burning out
giving in
no soul
no heart
never should have left you
promised words fade
in october's bitter whisper
a special kind of PAIN
deepening the blisters
the nightmares have become
so rapid and intense
biological tripwire defense
promised words fade
I like this version of the song much more, as it emphasizes the tragedy of betrayal. The original version sort of.. doesn't get it through and sounds like more of anger.
The title comes from something I found while looking through its audio file. I'm surprised it was so well hidden. It says the first part only two times while repeating "I'm so sorry" dozens of times throughout the rest of the song. I think that's how I feel. It is a special kind of pain; that's why I italicized it. He makes it sound like he's straining and crying while singing that word, and I love it. She would probably describe it as visceral.
That's something I love about her. She tries to find the emotion and meaning of words. I think I got that from her? I'm not sure. I still think about how I basically grew up with her, yet I felt so far apart. I feel as if a part of me belongs to her, but that it has been tested and tried.
I don't know what to do with this part of me. I think about that one time where she laid on my lap and we talked, knowing that, although things were changing, we understood each other so well in that moment. She knew me there. Fully. And she loved me.
Am I the skinwalker?
