I want to erase
every picture of me
from every picture frame
and every film roll
they're only holding
or standing beside a ghost

I will never return
to my previous state
believe me Devil, I've tried

I've begun to question everyone
and everything
most likely for the best
but no longer am I secure
in my relationships

I want to erase my existence
any trace of it
no, it's not directly your fault
that I've been feeling this way
but ever since you've left my life
nothing seems right anymore

arrogant and snappy
cold and distant
twisted and terrifying


I want to erase every moment
I ever made someone smile
ever made someone laugh
even you, Devil
I want to erase myself
from everything

no I don't want to die
that's not the extent of my meanings here
I only want to cease to exist
to disappear from this timeline
