The Lesson - System Syn

It was January and you were melting

While the rainfall turned to snow

And you were thinking of the end

All the reasons you couldn’t let me in

Sometimes it’s easier to sever the connection

Burn a bridge to help them believe

It’s not your fault

She’s crying at an empty page

Of words you couldn’t form

All the bitterness and misplaced rage

She said the water’s fine

Won’t you breathe it in with me

That weight you feel

It will leave with me

If you let it go

If you let me go

No one will remember

And you can’t make it on your own

But you don’t want anyone else

So you’ll go down with this sinking ship

And let the ocean fill your lungs

She said the water’s fine

Won’t you breathe it in with me

That weight you feel

It will leave with me

If you let it go

If you let me go

No one will remember

It was January and you were filling chambers

In case it took more then one

But you know it never does

It only ever takes one shot

And you took it

In the dead of winter you were melting

While the rainfall turned to snow

And you were teaching us a lesson

About how easily we could let go

She said the water’s fine

Won’t you breathe it in with me

That weight you feel

It will leave with me

If you let it go

If you let me go

No one will remember
