Til Life Do Us Apart

Darker than shades of darkness, absorbing all my colour and energy,
All I was, was a game, you kept playing until you had me achieved
And whenever you lost, then left me like that board game box, buried
Now you question my existence once you killed this, standing by my cemetery
They tell me, time is the solution to it as it passes and sets you free
But time doesn't pass when you're waiting for it to, patiently
Only for it to fade into grief-stricken memories
Cause it's not the death, but alive memories that I mourn in grief

All I thought of you was just a pain-shaped locution
Always remembered to forget about you, but I never couldn't
So I ran, far enough for when I looked back, I finally saw nothingness
That was when I knew I had moved on, from your paradoxical cans
As I saw my reflection in you, it always painted me as an antagonist
Never knew it was never me, but you were the broken mirror of cracks
My love only refracted your broken shards when reflection was I'd expected back

Always heard your silence, yet never listened, cause it felt deafeningly hard
Never knew I was only hallucinating this was from the start
And I actually realized this picture, was when I saw it in the dark
Gave me paper cuts when I wrote songs on you in the start
As long as you were dead was when you were finally alive in my heart Forever haunting the dead, but never before the depart
Never desiring what exists until it's gone, til life do us apart

How could I know I deserved daydreams when all I knew was nightmares
Life is the hands of fate, yet the feet of us, in the journey of happenings
Cause you were close with me as long as I was away from you in the beginning
Things don't relive when they die, except for the remains in the mind, resonating
If I never cared, I never would've said that I don't, with this attentive ignorance
Why punished me for the crime, when I had to return what I'd stolen?
What's once broken, regardless of bandaids won't ever be whole again

Always heard your silence, yet never listened, cause it felt deafeningly hard
Never knew I was only hallucinating this was from the start
And I actually understood this picture, was when I saw it in the dark
Gave me papercuts when I wrote songs on you in the start
As long as you were dead was when you were finally alive in my heart Forever haunting the dead, but never when we existed before the depart,
Just like ellipses to my saddest lyrics, til life do us apart
