What Once Was
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gaze into these eyes again and tell me
that you do not think that you see something more than
Nothing because that's the way you've treated me over the past few months now I've decided that
I've got more friends than I need
You must reconsider or else walk on;
I will look down as you
Kneel before me, when you bow down before me,
as you kneel before me, when you bow down
Our fates have taken separate paths
What once was
Has now evaporated into this cloud
Of mistrust
Desperation can really change
a man's perspective on life and how
he will treat the other
Members of his family I am tired of all these games
that we place
I've got more friends than I need
Discern that just by thinking this is about you, you're fueling my hate towards you
Kneel before me, when you bow down before me, as you kneel before me, when you bow down
Our fates have taken separate paths
What once was
Has now evaporated into this cloud
Over us
You think that we can just turn back
the clocks but we can't because it's far too late
Keep your psychobabble, we don't need it anymore,
our newborns blood has coagulated
We stand firmly on our own
now there's no more need for your support
I hate you, condemn you, betrayer, I'll laugh as you
Kneel before me, when you bown down before me,
as you kneel before me, when you bow down
I've got more friends than I need
