Dead To Me

I used to love you once long ago

I opened my door and gave you a home

You were my cairn and you were my creed

My everything or at least so I thought

Something died on the day that you left me

Melodies, memories and my dreams

Something left, something came, something darker

Someone let the cold inside

You ate my bread and drank from my well

I dressed you in silk, sold all I could sell

So I could keep your heart satisfied

But every time you just asked me for more

Deeper down to the hole where you made me

To the vortex of pain that will stain me

I won't drown, I won't lie, I won't die here

I will fight, I will rise again

I won't write you an ode nor confession

Not a song but a war declaration

Story told from the dawn of creation

Symphony with a grim orchestration

You were the harlot of my heart

Like a fool I played my part

But now you're hanging on your cross

And I am banging in the nails

You're no one

Mean nothing

You're worthless

Dead to me

Years they have passed and I'm over you

I've licked all my wounds and forged me anew

I wish I could say I wish you the best, it isn't true

I won't forgive, won't forget

I won't write you an ode nor confession

Not a song but a war declaration

Story told from the dawn of creation

Symphony with a grim orchestration

You were the harlot of my heart

Like a fool I played my part

But now you're hanging on your cross

And I am banging in the nails

You're no one

Mean nothing

You're worthless

Dead to me
