Memento from Demo 2020 by memento.

All this time I’ve been left alone
Accompanied only by my thoughts
My shattered skull, a memento
Of times meant to learn, to grow
“Someday soon you’ll find your way”
That’s the shit I’ve always been told
But now every motions a labor and I just don’t think I can roam anymore

And at the end of the day
My dreams of you, they dissipate

If I climb to the peak just how far will I be able to see?
My vision is hazy, my legs they start shaking
The anxiousness brings out the worst in me
swept away in this current
The riptides, keep their grip on me
can’t write out my fears, my inkwell is empty it has been for years

I don’t think you get how fucking exhausting it is to exist
Taking every shot I could possibly take, every single one missed
So here I lay, body exposed soaking up these rays of self loathing
And I patiently wait for death to arrive and motion for me

My lungs they won’t
Hold in this smoke anymore
My lungs they won’t
Hold in this smoke anymore
By your hands I choke
I can feel my life slip away
I don’t know if I can survive
For another day

The crater left in my chest is the only memento of you
