DEAD FRETS - What We Gave Away

What we gave away
- I hate to hesitate -
But in the light I paint
Brushstrokes into
Birds of prey
And a common place
Where the monsters we'd create
Worked alone to make
A barren landscape
We paved
Where nothing can survive
In the eye of the storm
And we're barely alive
Killing kindness with the norm
Dreams are coming true
Staying true to a form
It's another day
In black and gray
What we gave away:
The characters we portrayed
Riddled with decay
Who'd expect us to be bothered to save?
So we dug the graves
And side by side they lay
Still just a day
'Til a visit from
New you and me
Nothing freezes time
Like we froze it before
Nothing says goodbye
Like you laying on my floor
I'll keep you in mind
As I'm spiraling towards
Another day we gave away
You lost me
When you disappeared
And I lost you
Year after year
You lost me
When you disappeared
And I lost you
