Dementia from Misanthrope by Maulskull

She said there's nothing left for me there but a shattered dream and broken pieces of her effigy's stare
And the dissosociated seasons that her entropy wears
That will keep her safe between the creases when her destiny tears her apart at the seams
And it leaves her with the debt that she bears
With her heart on her sleeve and the secrets that her reveries shared
She started to dream but she'll never find serenity there
It's dark and gleam of light is all her memory spared
She's still here
Manifesto was written with bloody fingertips
Her words are gold dust ribbons in mud between her lips
A mind of shattered brilliance still wishing the crumbled pieces fit
We search the night while she struggles to keep the beacon lit
She used to fly so free with the birds
But now she hides her tattered feathers with her wings in the dirt
It's unfamiliar
She can't put those memories into words
Tearing out the pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of her

Tearing out
Tearing out pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of you
Tearing out
Tearing out pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of you

Her thoughts are not forgotten
But the words are fallen leaves in her November winds
Her minds a pawn that plays a game she knows she'll never win
A thousand secrets hid beneath this old and weathered skin
That bleeds the countless stories that she thinks she told but never did
These ghosts of us are tethered and tame
She knows their faces and a time she once remembered their names
Dismembered her flames
Til nothing but this ember remained
The weather changed but she never saw December the same again
But time don't wait for no one that gets left behind
And love was blind enough to lead the roaches to the pesticide
A distant recollection that's still frozen in her restless eyes
And there's no coping with emotions left un-emphazized
She used to fly so free with the birds
But now she hides her tattered feathers with her wings in the dirt
It's unfamiliar
She can't put those memories into words
Tearing out the pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of her

Tearing out
Tearing out pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of you
Tearing out
Tearing out pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of you
Tearing out
Tearing out pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of you
Tearing out
Tearing out pieces of me to replace the broken pieces of you
