Forgotten Goodbye

(The

sound of a heavy door slamming rattles

the speakers. Absolute silence for a second,

then a massive, heavily distorted guitar riff

rips open, backed by a slow,

crushing trap metal beat.) Yeah.

I’m

done. Don't say a fucking word.

Don't look at me.

Turn the mic all the way up!

Let's go!

Five years of silence,

five years of the ghost

Now you walk back in acting like you care the most?

You think you can just step inside my space?

Look me in the eyes?

Look at my face?

I was eight years old when you dropped the map

Left me in the dark with a heavy trap

Now I’m fourteen, standing on my own two feet And you're a

stranger

stepping off the street

Nah,

look at the knuckles,

look at the rage

You designed the monster,

now I’m breaking the cage You want to play the hero?

You want to play the dad?

Where the fuck were you for every single night I had?!

(The bass blows out completely,

maximum distortion,

vocals screaming) Back the fuck off!

We don't fucking want you!

Every single promise that you broke is gonna haunt you!

Pack your shit up,

hit the road, don't look back

We are done playing games on your twisted track!

Get the fuck out!

We don't need your ghost!

We survived the winters when it hurt the most!

(Beat switches to a hyper-fast,

aggressive mosh-pit tempo) You keep leaving,

coming back, spinning the wheel Like my life is a game and

my pain isn't real Step the fuck back,

don't you cross that line This house,

this life, this future is mine!

I told you to your face,

no shaking in my breath I'm burying the past,

putting old ghosts to death

We don't want the apologies,

we don't want the lies

I can see the coward burning right behind your eyes Like X

in the pit, I'ma scream till it clears Channelling the hatred of

these five long years

You are crossed out,

deleted, done, and erased

Get the fuck

out of my face!

(The beat abruptly stops,

leaving only a low,

ominous static hum

and a

heavily clipped, breathing vocal) Don't come back.

We don't want you.

We never did. (A final,

massive distorted bass drop hits

and

cuts to complete silence.)
