Roles Remix 2

You said I'd play victim again,

Said I'd play the part so well.

Little did I know back then,

This role would feel like living hell.

Dragging my feet long behind,

Head hanging low, I can't be found.

If it's my fault, please speak your mind,

Surprised if that memory can be crowned

Not to say I forgot your face,

Or the way your scent could hold me near.

This emptiness, a vacant space,

Felt endless 'til you did appear.

No, I could never quite forget you,

Through every time my anger grew.

For all the times I ever got mad,

It was myself I truly hated then.

Owning the truth, a path so sad,

Never brought comfort, not even when.

In fact, the silence that would follow,

Never a single ear did it embrace.

It's loud with a stench, so hollow,

Self-pity's the only note in this place

The story knows itself by heart,

But it's so far out, it can't reach near.

Can't even touch the distant start,

Just floating through ages, year after year.

The same old pages turning slow,

This heavy feeling doesn't let go.
