Twelve/Seventeen

(album: This Heavy Void - 2020)

Help me forget

You always looked back until that day
When I looked into your eyes, you were so far away
Clear as day, there was nobody home
I grit my teeth, I was alone

It's been years (It's been years)
And I can't get you out of my thoughts
I wanna forget (I wanna forget)
My stomach's tied in knots

Am I guilty
Of wanting to forget?
I'm cursed
With that look in your eyes

A demon inside
You were reborn to die
His hand gripped your soul and tried to take it all away
A demon inside
I saw the struggle in your eye
It never goes away
Nothing gold can stay

You always looked back
Until that day
You always looked back

When I looked into your eyes
You were so far away (So far away)
This disease has taken you
And I can't ask you to stay

This still creeps into my mind
How the fuck could I forget
When you asked me
"Can I die yet?"

"Can I die yet?"
