The Forgotten

We're the forgotten ones
We're the forgotten ones
We watch as the numbers relay
Which of us shall perish
Mournful survivors — together they pray
Live in the moment — the eldest will say
But it's all a facade
Alone, their bravery's had
For they know they are the next ones to
Not only be erased
But ultimately be forgotten
Everything that made them human, condensed to a paragraph of
Text
Embellishments and lies to immortalise them all
Praise be the lie
Praise be the lie
We're the forgotten ones
Sorrow spreads her wings
The sun — shrouded by patagium
Now upon the stone
They cache their forsaken souls in reverie
Blissful as
Sorrow spreads her wings
The truth — shrouded by patagium
Because upon the stone
They sell their fantastic lies for eulogy
Their forgotten
Perhaps I am the same
My life will be remembered
By the tales I've left
Chronicles of depression
So I've made the choice to document all the things I love
To immortalise this life that's been shared with my kin
There's no more sad songs left
Until I have gone
We're the forgotten ones
(Ones, one)
Were the forgotten
