[Verse 1]

Turning a blind eye

Won't make the world disappear

The second sight returns

So, too, does the pain and fear

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll refuse to acknowledge

I'll refuse to accept

Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret

[Chorus]

You, once so close to me

This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene

Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me

Your presence forever will be exposure therapy

[Verse 2]

There stand strangers

Where the world used to be

Can't take change or

Are retinas still not letting me see?

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll refuse to acknowledge

I'll refuse to accept

Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret

[Chorus]

You, once so close to me

This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene

Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me

Your presence forever will be exposure therapy

[Bridge]

No "we", no "us"

Two halves un-whole

I'm your Sisyphus

You laugh every roll

And you will suffer

And you will drown

You are the victor?

How heavy's the crown?

[Chorus]

You, once so close to me

This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene

Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me

Your presence forever will be dead to me
