Linear

Absently, you somehow still exist within me
And I never thought I’d see this day in my life
But now we are left with a feeling no one can settle with
And every day your memory is something I battle
Against the wall your smile is unattainable
Everything I love, embodied in my memories of us
But now that is lost
And its something that I can’t shake off
In all that I do, I only see you

Don’t forget me now
Just leave me here
You must free yourself of me
Leave me here
Go find yourself without me
I can’t tell if we are dead or floating

But leave me here, go find yourself without me
You can keep your life even if it means I'm without mine
We push so hard to be cared for knowing we have no light to shine
Try and think back to all the times
You changed yourself to fit between the lines
Not sure that anyone has admired a death like mine
I am the chip on your shoulder, a linear lifeline
Absently, you somehow still exist within me

But I must go on with my life
Broken homes make the strongest bones
Just leave me here
You must free yourself of me
Leave me here
Go find yourself without me
I can’t tell if we are dead or floating
But leave me here, go find yourself without me
