Murder Scene

[Verse 1]
Turning a blind eye
Won't make the world disappear
The second sight returns
So, too, does the pain and fear

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll refuse to acknowledge
I'll refuse to accept
Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret

[Chorus]
You, once so close to me
This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene
Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me
Your presence forever will be exposure therapy

[Verse 2]
There stand strangers
Where the world used to be
Can't take change or
Are retinas still not letting me see?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll refuse to acknowledge
I'll refuse to accept
Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret

[Chorus]
You, once so close to me
This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene
Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me
Your presence forever will be exposure therapy

[Bridge]
No "we", no "us"
Two halves un-whole
I'm your Sisyphus
You laugh every roll

And you will suffer
And you will drown
You are the victor?
How heavy's the crown?

[Chorus]
You, once so close to me
This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene
Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me
Your presence forever will be dead to me
