forget your name

forget your name

sever the tie that binds

bonded by blood

tainted soul leave me behind

whispers echo within me

begging to remove the stain

only the blood that fuels us

is what keeps you and i the same

leave me behind

distance is the only way

i can't hang on the words that convince me to stay

anything to separate

i run from the life that connects us by fate

you hide

behind an oath that was written in blood

retreat

back into the shell you use to cover up

cover up

i dropped the dead weight into the shallows

i walked the turncoat up to the gallows

i tore the cancer out

your image faded

brother in arms

amputated

no love lost

forget your name

i am leaving you there in the flames

a dead flower at an unmarked grave

you are a traitor

we are not the same

i will forget your name
