Once part of us now gone

We poured ourselves into it

Now empty never full

How many pieces to rebuild the whole?

Our past that we rewrote

Haunts us still when we’re alone

Gripped by the future now

The same mistakes feel different

Now we are no longer a part of you

Now we are

Burning now

Aflame with purpose we hear your truths out loud

The profane call

To hide behind when we should stand tall

Now gone

We poured ourselves into it

Never full

How many pieces to rebuild the whole?

Now we are no longer a part of you

Now we are

Forward we fall

Our footsteps slow

Dragging us down

Once proud now brought low

Severing my ties to you

Taking back what you stole

No longer in denial of the truth

I will return

And not be clouded by what you put me through

I possess the key

To open the doors shut by you
