I had almost forgotten
Had almost repressed
Almost believed my lies
Almost thought you didn't exist

Then you drop out of the sky
And I don't know what to feel

Pour alcohol on my heart's old open wounds
And slam me on the floor upside down
Familiar fear grips my spine with icy nails
And drags me beneath the surface to drown

Burn me with cyanogen flames
You poison my world again

Show me the piece of my heart you still hold
It's battered and bleeding form was almost dead
The frayed cord that used to bind us tugs at me
And I can't get your voice out of my head

Why couldn't you just stay away
So I could obliterate your memory?

Toss me a casual greeting
While your eyes burn to my soul
I stand falsely apathetic
My mind screams at you to go

But you've made the stain on me darker
As the tears inside soak through
And start to show on my skin

Even if I never see you again
I'll always feel the scars
And as long as I remember your face
The pain will never be far
