"Monstrance" lyrics

"Monstrance"

The enchantment is broken forever
The bonds are severed, now brush away these puppet strings
No more will I dance to the steady beat of your lies
Get this through your head: We are done

The future in your eyes is washed away in reality's tide
And my blind faith is washed away in reality's tide
Infallibility is washed away in reality's tide

The ebb and flow that once drew me back
Has ground me to shore while you're lost at sea
Wave after wave after wave after wave, the truth finally revealed
Patience worn away, sympathy worn away
How long did we drag this out?
Would you have let me go on forever?
How many times did you look me in the eye and lie to my face?
Were you laughing the whole time?
Or did you look to me in pity and disgust?

Now we have escaped from beneath the shadow of
Ouroboros, misery perpetual
Now I've turned my back on emotional wreckage
Now I've paid respects to the corpse of hopeful dreams
Now silence surrounds, silence can be broken
By reminiscence, by self-recrimination

You were right, you're not a good person
And you're not worth my time, you were...

You were right
