This one accompanies "Happy?" and "The Indictment"... there's a piece of the story that I just haven't worked into a song yet, but it would be horribly dishonest to leave it out... I made some awful mistakes too... my only excuse is that I was so far past the end of my rope that my mind was beginning to fray... I wish it had never happened... I wish we'd never seen that day.
Forsaken
You kept lifting me up
Into your castles in the clouds
And every next day
I would come crashing down
The falls were getting harder
Far too much to endure
And the ground became unwilling
To catch me anymore
It opened a dark pit
That seemed unending
You'd think that would keep
The vultures from descending
But they came none the less
To rend flesh from bone
When they stole my last light
I needed to be left alone
Don't try to lift me up
To your home in the sky
If I took another tumble
From those heights I'd surely die
Something had to change
The ship was going down
If I didn't leave on my feet
Then I'd have to be left in the ground
I tried to explain
That I had no other choice
But the only thing that got through
Was the desperation in my voice
When all else failed
I said that I'd found someone new
It was the first and last time
That I'd ever lied to you
I regretted it immediately
But it was already too late
You'd felt forsaken
And left me to my fate
Star crossed and cursed
We both did what we must
Mournful and loathing
Wishing memories to dust
