Chimera - Derelict Lyrics

In their first real memory
He tried his best to delay
To remember that sweet melody
But the moment slipped away

What if he forgets the smell
Of that crumpled hair in his face
What if he forgets the look in her eyes
That could tear through his disguise

He's lying there staring at the ceiling
Doesn't care that he's not healing
He's got no reason to stay up late
Yet he won't just go to sleep

It had been almost a year
That's when he'd just begun to fear
Was she real or was she just in his mind
Couldn't believe it when she arrived

But then she had to go so suddenly
And he didn't know when he'd see
What he thought was best back then
Didn't know he'd never see her again

He's lying there staring at the ceiling
Doesn't care that he's not healing
He's got no reason to stay up late
But yet he won't just go to sleep

Why can't he be loved
Why won't he accept love
He's too scared to let go

He's lying there staring at the ceiling
Doesn't care that he's not healing
He's got no reason to stay up late
But yet he won't just go to sleep
