lyrics

Sew up the hole of memories left behind
Tuck them away with pocket knives and land mines
Where you went I could not go
You jumped ahead I could not follow

Excise you from my life
With a scalpel so precise
You won't feel a thing
Just a sting
Just a stain
Just the pain of absence gained

Presence of past paints the future
But it won't last
Paint a portrait of the present
With solitude standing
Go forth into the world
With this mask in place
To hide the lines our story carved
In my face

Excise you from my life
With a scalpel so precise
You won't feel a thing
Just a sting
Just a stain
Just the pain of absence gained
