Your Pedestal

This is me
This is who I've become and what I never wanted to be
A lonely vessel salt stained by the spray of the sea
Won't you be my light the shining beacon of hope
Why don't you cut through the fog and send this aching heart home
Clutching to my locket I swallow the water and welcome the silence
And you never told me why you left
And you never told me how this ends
Here's my final mayday call back home
Without your hand in mine I'm ready to go
Without your hand in mine I'm ready to go

Now tell me why every bone is broken
And every breath in hurts
Why my wounds have never shrunken
And why every attempt to mend was met with an apathetic pause

Let me go
I'll find the answers on my own
Because the pedestal I placed you on has shattered into pieces
And I'm never coming home

This is me
This is who I've become and what I never wanted to be
A lonely vessel salt stained by the spray of the sea
I'm not the one you loved
But I am the one you've grown to hate
So remember me with dignity
As the waves drift me away
I'm not the one you loved
But I am the one you've grown to hate
So remember me with dignity
As the waves drift me away

Now tell me why every bone is broken
And every breath in hurts
Why my wounds have never shrunken
And why every attempt to mend was met with an apathetic pause
