circlejourney - memorialisation (2021 version) lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve forgotten her face
i don’t remember her voice at all
what is she to me, anyway?
why should i care that i don’t recall
so all my pride was misplaced
how could i have been so blind?
what use is a memorial in your mind?

[chorus]
walls break, windows crack
trees die, and don’t grow back
if you wait, the leaves will all turn black

[verse 2]
and she also forgot me
at last the whole truth has come to light
it was all just a gambit
a surrender and not a fight
and for all these years, she bore my weight
for love, for hate, she tolerated me
“just wait for me,” she’d say to me
just wait, until she left that night
that endless night

[chorus]
walls break, windows crack
trees die, and don’t grow back
if you wait, the leaves will all turn black
[verse 3]
don’t you know?
overgrown houses fall
all they’ve known, no trace at all
a bird sends up her mourning call alone
i’ve always known how to make things
but not how to break them
i don’t know how to take it
when they can’t be repaired
i’ve always known she’s gone
she’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone
she never cared
who am i, who was i
to you, my mother?
answer me

[chorus]
walls break, windows crack
trees die, and don’t grow back
suddenly, everything goes black

[verse 4]
songs end, seeds decay
you can’t pretend the grief away
oh, if only i could send a reply
with the things i’d like to say
i’d say i’m sorry
that i wasted my childhood away
but you’re not here
and you can’t watch me
destroy this memorial today
