[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A comfort that cuts, year after year withdrawn.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!
