circlejourney - memorialisation 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?
well, all my pride was misplaced
how could i have been so blind?
what use is a memorial in your mind?

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

[verse 2]
and she, too, 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 those years, she bore my weight
for love, for hate, she tolerated me
abandoned me, a worthless scr+p to her
until she died that night
that endless night

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

[verse 4]
songs end, seeds decay
you can’t pretend the grief away
oh, if 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 there
and you can’t watch me
destroy this memorial today
