The Artifact (Demons In The Code)

You’ve been gone too long
I’ve been here before
some remnant condiment
behind the oven door

I shut the door so long ago
there’s demon in the code
if I took the chance to let you out
the whole thing could implode

To make you go away I’ll close my eyes
There’s nothing left to say except goodbye

There’s not much sense in caring
that walls become too load-bearing.
under the shade of my pride

Farewell myself up on the shelf
I’ve moved on to become someone else.

Forgotten relic tired and old
its use concealed by dated code
