lyrics
This quiet place,
A whisper of melody,
Sheltered and safe I close my eyes, and breathe.
Lying still beneath my breath,
Watching my thoughts float overhead,
They no longer define me,
Finally I see what you are.
A memory of thoughts held close to protect me from your words,
The echos of words you spoke, a hundred years ago,
A ghost of the pain you left behind,
A phantom now only in my mind,
And with each breathe I take, You fade away into nothing
This quiet place,
Unbound from a memory,
Finally learn to let you go.
And I know
That each poisoned word I hear,
Whispering softly in my ear,
Only exists to remind me
Of a life now behind me.
And you are only
A memory of thoughts held close to protect me from your words,
The echos of words you spoke, a thousand years ago,
A ghost of the pain you left behind,
A phantom now only in my mind,
And with each breathe I take,
You fade away into silence
This poisoned gift you gave me many years ago.
Has lived deep inside me, twisted each thought and buried into the heart of me,
And that was your legacy, one final cruelty I have long endured
Until in this quiet place I see your face at last
And understand I am not my thoughts
And you are no longer in control
And there is a life that waits for me
Because I don't need you
Because you don't matter anymore
You're only the thoughts held close to protect me from your words,
Just echos of words you spoke, a thousand years ago,
A ghost of the pain now left behind,
A phantom that only exists in my mind,
And with each breathe I take,
You fade away
