Forgiven Not Forgotten

Words are spoken
Poisonous thoughts allowed to flow
Hopes are broken
The seeds begin to grow

Open your mouth and out spill the lies
Hide behind the ties that slowly die
Cast aside
When clarity cries in a moment of the clearest sight
Gutted by a blade
Laced with the cruellest temptation of fate
Gutted by what you said
Left with nothing to temper this hate

When all that you do is rotten
Forgiven but not forgotten
Now you are forever dead to me

A rope bound to the neck of the truth
A loose use of a forgotten noose
Gathering anger surrounding your friends
Lever pull short drop brings the end
Lies and poison once bitten by a snake
Twice as shy in the shadow of the fake
A monument to your duality
Becomes the hallmark of my clarity

When all that you do is rotten
Forgiven but not forgotten
Now you are forever dead to me
When all that you do is rotten
Forgiven but not forgotten
Now you are forever dead to me

So you tug and pull as you try and escape
Blood streams from your neck
As your fingers break
No escape from the consequence
Because we all know

You'll sit and rot in the pit you made
The sun you abandoned starts to fade
A lifetime to live with what you've said and done
Alone and without your son

No more words are spoken
Just a wry smile to show
Once forewarned is now forearmed
This hope will never go

When all that you do is rotten
Forgiven but not forgotten
Now you are forever dead to me
When all that you do is rotten
Forgiven but not forgotten
Now you are forever dead to me

You never even tried
You never even tried
You only ever lied
Fucking lied

You could at least have tried
You only ever lied
You never even tried
