It's been a long time sing the war And still you're bunkered at the shore A thousand words in sorrow songs Echo louder than bombs You're still sleeping in his bed Since you woke up in his head And all those years seem like a ruse Before the songs came true But it's gone, not forgotten Trailing off smell of rotten Sing the farewell song It's gone gone gone baby gone And those lines whispered and penned Will sometimes burn us in the end Cognitive battle for control and conflicting goals Now you stumble in new shoes through the sunset painted truth Maybe it was never ours, the mirage, the iron bars And it's gone, but not forgotten Drink it off. No one's stopping you from moving on It's gone gone gone baby gone Loyalty to a flaw Shattered inside china doll All she yearns for, shelter somewhere safe
