I’m Just What Never Was

Verse

I’m just the tormented soul

Your siren songs cajole

You knew you had control

But you didn’t want what you stole

I’m just a haunted home

You peered in through a window

Right before you threw the stone

Just to say you knew me before I broke

 

Pre-Chorus

And I broke

Like your promises

Chorus

What happened to old-fashioned robbery

When you’d only take what you’d need?

You poison me with reckless greed

Hoping just to make me bleed

What’s with today’s new, hollow crime

That you breed your hate to fill the time?

Bitter is your cyanide

The quickest way to make life die

Verse

I’m just the dirt beneath your feet

And by the time we meet

You’re already crushing me

Yet, I mistake it for company

I’m just a desperate wraith

Calling out for a recognition in your headspace

To interweave and interlace

Your carelessness with my disgrace

Pre-Chorus

And my disgrace

Fits well with your lies

 

Chorus

Bridge

I’m drowning in who “I’m just”

I’m just

Enveloped in what never was

Never was

I’m just what never was

What never is, never enough

Never enough
