Letting someone slowly fade
Wishing they would never bade you goodbye
Haunting in their misery
Wishing we could all be free
Forever

Never knowing what’s to come
Always feeling like you’ve won
Never knowing the full sum
Loving who you’ve become

I thought I knew you so well
I guess I fooled myself
I put my pride on the shelf
Unknowing

Lying in the face of pain
Always looking in disdain
Down upon a bloody stain
Of memories

Horror in ones eyes
Always in the skies
All those filthy lies
Cloud my mind

I thought I knew you so well
I guess I fooled myself
I put my pride on the shelf
Unknowing

I had this haunting melody in my head, so i thought it only natural to pair lyrics with it.
