I'll never be ready to meet a memory

I'll never be ready to meet a memory

a memory that abandoned me

Falling silent, going mad

i've gone walkabout with the parasites in my head

far too quiet, it's deafening

as I pick away at the surface

the itch burns through my skin

when the dirt crushes my bones

and the worms call me their home

if i'm asked to start again

I can't pretend i'm ready

I can't pretend,

I've had plenty

Drown this broken dream

a taste was quiet enough for me

my mind's too unsteady

stay away from me

please

I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me

I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me

when the dirt crushes my bones

(I'll never be ready to meet a memory)

and the worms call me their home

(a memory that abandoned me)

if i'm asked to start again

I can't pretend i'm ready

I can't pretend,

I've had plenty

I'll never be ready to meet a memory

a memory that abandoned me

I'll never be ready to meet a memory

a memory that abandoned me
