Lyrics
Cast In The Pattern
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.
I’m just the letter lost and better left unfound
The vessel of redemption cut loose and run aground
I am the messenger that never made a sound
Right now i might as well be lost in reverie
No cause left for the consciousness you ever could call me
Content with defeat i tell myself that this is who i am
That i planned to be this apathetic
A pathetic lack of plans, i’ll resign with but a sigh
Forget there ever was a reason why
I was trying to be something
In a home that doesn’t want me
It’s better being nothing
When it’s all i’ve ever been
Right now i might as well be lost in reverie
No cause for the consciousness you ever could call me
I would rather die than live with what i’ll never become
