City State - Crooked Walls

Текст песни

Faith misplaced
I grew accustomed to the life you gave
But after all these years
You were lying to my face
Corrupted by the one you called
«You have nothing to worry about»
Do you feel whole now?
After leaving us trapped between these crooked walls
Do you feel whole now?
While abandoning me, you forgot responsibility
Time moved slowly
As the echo faded softly
You know I tried
But your words still lost their life
When meaning left me
In our shattered debris
I hope your choices haunt you for eternity
We were left with the ghost of what could be
When I see you in my dreams my skin crawls
Knowing that a broken home is all she’s seen
Till you were dead inside
You covered up your lies
Back then we cared for each other
Now you’re the mother that’s abandoned her daughter
I can live without you
But what you don’t realize is she shouldn’t have to
The delusion of grandeur that fills your head
They’re only bringing you to the end
Look what you’ve become
You gave it all up
We were left with the ghost of what could be
When I see you in my dreams my skin crawls
Knowing that a broken home is all she’s seen
Haunted by regret
You’ll walk the earth alone
Lost to the family you’d know
If you had remained loyal and unbroken
Your choices will lead you to your end
I know your conscience will rot with the grief you’ve caused
You abandoned us but I’m glad you’re gone
But I’m glad you’re gone
