Wasted Breath Lyrics by Actor Observer

Songs For the Newly Reclusive

0

What does it say
That I️ only speak of you
In the past tense
What could I say to you
That wouldn’t just be
Wasted breath
It’s funny
You communicate through music
But you never really listen
So what’s the difference
Between another song
And all the words left unsaid?

I wish you the best
But I won’t hold my breath

Sometimes I forget
You’re still out there
Just making ends meet
Feeling more sorry for yourself
Than you’ve ever been to me
But I can’t get blood from a stone
By throwing coins in a well
So I just leave it alonе
With all of those
Stories that you tell
I wish you thе best
But I won’t hold my breath

I hope you’re relieved
The apple fell far from the tree
Don’t call me up
Just to say nothing

The day I was born
Had a noose ‘round my neck
You feared for my life then
Now each year you forget
But the elephant in the room
Remembers everything
Like when I sent you to bed on my birthday
Eyes bloodshot
Lips babbling
I felt the weight
Of generational pain
And so with that
I vowed to break the chain
Til the rot from the roots
Has been purged from the tree
And all the hurt that he caused you
It ends with me

I hope you’re relieved
The apple fell far from the tree
Don’t call me up
Just to say nothing
Say nothing

The saddest funeral
Was the one that never happened
No sermon, tears or rituals
Just fire and a casket
All we’re left with now
Is the shadow of a man
A catalyst for so much
Yet forgotten in the end
It doesn’t have to end the same for you
It’s in your hands
I’ve tried to find forgiveness
But I don’t know if I can
I don’t know if I can
I don’t know if I can
