Your Pedestal

This is me This is who I've become and what I never wanted to be A lonely vessel salt stained by the spray of the sea Won't you be my light the shining beacon of hope Why don't you cut through the fog and send this aching heart home Clutching to my locket I swallow the water and welcome the silence And you never told me why you left And you never told me how this ends Here's my final mayday call back home Without your hand in mine I'm ready to go Without your hand in mine I'm ready to go Now tell me why every bone is broken And every breath in hurts Why my wounds have never shrunken And why every attempt to mend was met with an apathetic pause Let me go I'll find the answers on my own Because the pedestal I placed you on has shattered into pieces And I'm never coming home This is me This is who I've become and what I never wanted to be A lonely vessel salt stained by the spray of the sea I'm not the one you loved But I am the one you've grown to hate So remember me with dignity As the waves drift me away I'm not the one you loved But I am the one you've grown to hate So remember me with dignity As the waves drift me away Now tell me why every bone is broken And every breath in hurts Why my wounds have never shrunken And why every attempt to mend was met with an apathetic pause
