Forget Me

Forget me, let me walk from your mind
As the image of a friend long since remembered
Out of existence and into reality, pause

I walk across your mind
The sands of time pass through my fingers
Forget what I was, condemn who I am
Serpent of sanity stalks
My dying heart, venom in my soul

As the tears of a saint
Trickle down my face
My soul is cleansed, My heart is alive
Decaying as I fear I am, please give me a rest
Sanctuary from the reality of my monstrosity

I cry to hide, I weep please give me hope
Forget me so you can be free, I loved to much
I gave to little, the result is my death
I fear you as a cringing child, afraid
Heart of my mind is dead, please forget me
