Paint a picture with silent words
And soak the brush in my woe
Where you leave me out from the herds
In a lonesome void down below

I am omitted from your thoughts
Left painted out from your heart
Tangled up in these aching knots
Wasting away in the dark

With a dying spirit, I am on my knees
Away from the world, I teach myself to breathe
Slowly advancing from the ashes, I weep
Watching the wide ocean’s tide quietly cease

Take me to where I’ll always be
Alone at night under the sky
Asleep in the stars where I’ll see
Memories of you asking why

I leave you this sole letter
To forget all that you mean
An empty land I’ll find better
Than anything you have been
