When Everyone Forgets - ThouShaltNot

You followed me, I followed you

With new language you lead me adrift

To find and swallow you

Into this continental rift but

Will all songs be ancient text when

Affairs of lust and power lost on

Railroad tracks or slaveship decks

Why has your love become neglect?

Somewhere there’s a memory

A truth that lives in lies

An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies

Will I live in hiding

Between these silhouettes?

Will you remember me when everyone forgets?

Do you know me anymore?

Wasn’t I your comfort and your god

And weren’t you the shore

I called you home and cried for you but

Sons rise up and Shadow falls

Over rooftops, years and eyes are in

The hopes that you’ll recall

Wasn’t I a god to you?

Somewhere there’s a memory

A truth that lives in lies

An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies

Will I live in hiding

Between these silhouettes?

Will you remember me when everyone forgets?

I promise I will still be there

Even when I haven’t got a prayer

Just a lonely stranger in America, but

I’m still here

Oh, god, I’m here

I swear

Somewhere there’s a memory

A truth that lives in lies

An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies

Will I live in hiding

Between these silhouettes?

Will you remember me when everyone forgets?
