Forget Me Not

[Verse 1 – Rapid, melodic phrasing]
Frost on glass—your face, a ghost in frame.  
Porcelain silence in a room that won’t say your name.  
No trail, no sound, just steps on sacred ground.  
Rain stole your whisper; I trace what’s not around.  
This is the wreckage of a wish gone wrong—  
A chorus buried in a song too long.  
I choke on the vow you left to rot,  
As secrets bleed from wallpaper spots.

[Pre-Chorus – Strained, high-pitched]
I rip the mirror from my mind,  
But your carrion peace is all I find.  
A black helix, venom in the stream—  
A perfect phantom haunting every dream.

[Chorus – Soaring, anthemic]
Oh, the venom—I swallow it whole!  
A brilliant cipher stealing control.  
I built you an altar from ashes and doubt,  
Just to watch your fragile flame burn out.  
I beg the void: don’t let me be  
The one who forgets our tragedy.  
Forget Me Not!  
Forget Me Not!  
Oh-oh-ohs


[Verse 2 – Slower, heavier]
Your jacket still reeks of smoke and sin,  
A shrine to every lie you let me in.  
You were the shimmer on defeat’s black sky,  
A tragic gleam I can’t deny.  
I walk the graveyard of yesterday’s breath,  
Where stones remember what I beg to forget.  
The night’s a curtain drawn on consequence—  
A stage I built for self-defense.  
I crave the sting of knowing you're gone,  
A comfort that cuts, year after year withdrawn.

[Pre-Chorus – Strained, high-pitched]
I rip the mirror from my mind,  
But your carrion peace is all I find.  
A black helix, venom in the stream—  
A perfect phantom haunting every dream.

[Chorus – Soaring, anthemic]
Oh, the venom—I swallow it whole!  
A brilliant cipher stealing control.  
I built you an altar from ashes and doubt,  
Just to watch your fragile flame burn out.  
I beg the void: don’t let me be  
The one who forgets our tragedy.  
Forget Me Not!  
Forget Me Not!  
Oh-oh-ohs

[Bridge]
I architect my own decay— (my decay)
Pull the thread and tear away.  (Tear away)
The horror isn’t losing you—  
It’s fearing I’ll forget you too.  
(The fear that I might forget…)

[Violin solo]

[Final Chorus: Double-time, full chords]
Oh, the venom—I swallow it whole!  
A brilliant cipher stealing control.  
I built you an altar from ashes and doubt,  
Just to watch your fragile flame burn out.  
I beg the void: don’t let me be  
The one who forgets our tragedy.  
Forget Me Not! 
Oh-oh-oh
Forget Me Not!
