Requiem

from Grumpy Ghost by The Endless

about

Cutting losses and moving on after failing at loving someone or something. “I will bloom again.”

lyrics

I know that I've taken all I could from this
a dead man's word was broken in a garden Judas kiss
someone knew his plans
someone knew the man

would you take from me this pain,
this pain that I extract from you again, again

I let myself be prey to rabbit traps so plainly placed
there is a hell that we create
that now I just choose to erase

no matter how many times you cry
you'll never be the one who died
catching him in strangers' eyes
no matter how many times
you've made him into a god damned hero
and I made him mine
I made you mine

you could be someone without me

I have to shove off from this black eroding shore
nothing here can hold me down
no one binds me anymore

before the bloom has faded from the rose
I cut myself off, I let myself go

I could be someone without you
but I'm not a worthy acolyte

you're too scared to conjure
the one you loved the most
so you've decreased his essence
into a tired and grumpy ghost

I will bloom again
you have never seen me
you have never seen me
but I will bloom again
