Stringman (occupied territory)

Vestigial Remorse

30 - Stringman (occupied territory)

all is dark again
where has my light gone
shine something on me
shine some light on me

all is dark again
all is dark again
all is black again

why do you walk away?
why you run away
now that you of all can say
that you knew me?

why do you run away
now that you of all know
of every single one who’s tried
you finally broke me?

it’s no surprise i’m here
stringman has taken a home
stringman has taken me as it’s own
[I’ve taken you as my own]

…

emily,
stringman has taken everything…
just like them, just like you
everything that mattered

emily,
stringman is everywhere…
in them, in you
in me…

light is a foregone image of me

I am becoming
I am awakening
I am right here
I am Become
…finally

finally nothing matters

[you’re mine.]
[you’re f–king mine.]

why won’t you stay and save me…
why won’t you fix me?
