By the Brook Lyrics

By the brook where we last talked

How still the river stood

In the moon I saw our last tide

And how it tinted cruel

Now when I think about our past lives

And everything that could

That feeling sinks as it has long died

And I don't think of you

By the brook where we last talked

How still our figures stood

Although we knew it'd be our last time

We never spoke the truth

Now when I think about our past lives

And what is gone for good

A single blink ending my last cry

To let the flowers bloom

Everything I wanted

Washing far along the stream

Everything I ever

Wanted far away from me

Everything I ever

Needed water guillotine

Everything I wanted

Washing all the hope from me

Everything I wanted

Washing far along the stream

Everything I ever

Wanted far away from me

Everything I ever

Needed water guillotine

Everything I wanted

Washing all the want away from me

Look

Why you think of

Me still stalking me just

Evil gotta remind me

Of all the things that

We did been a couple

Years since I already

Shed all my tears lost

Sleep was in pieces

Thinking I would never

See you again would send

Texts every day no

Indication you cared but now I'm

Peaceful living out my

Life with an equal but

Every now and then you check

In like I see you as a

Thing still but I do not

Care you left at my

Lowest and told me you're

Scared you told me no

Hope or a chance for a

One on one handling

Told me no hope for

Repair so why are you

Here why are you

Stuck why are you

Focused on someone you

Fucked over for like

Months and months

Destructed like I would

Ever allot you my

Trust again no

Fucking chance I

Matured since then I been

Living in poverty while you

Splurge since then ain't no

Urge since then ain't

Returned since then I been

Building my optimism with a

Girl since then ain't been

Hurt since then been a

Pearl since when diamond

In the rough pressure made me

Turn since then you ain't

Perfect sis when from

Turmoil to bliss but I

Guess you prolly think you didn't

Burn that bridge but you did

I don't even care

All my love for you has vanished

From a time lathered in despair

Lost it all when you abandoned

You tell me you live in fear

But crawl back when your man ain't standard

Hear that rapid running clear

Wash it all my sins upended

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

Buried that shit in the sand

Never gave it a second look because

Straight to you everything's been said

I would ramble in text to you but I

Never knew what you'd think when read

Now you search my name every few months

Look at what I'm on like you really cared

Even at my lowest you and I were

Hopeless future that would never stand

Our political motives opposite

Totems confederate words you held

Remember 2020 flourished riots your

Focus never murder given a damn

Beg and pray this COVID get a bit of

Focus rather than Injustices

Building years of resentment loathing ever

Endless repetitious shit again and again

I know we never finished but everything

Extinguished it all dissipated decayed in the

Wind no point in to chase it emotionally

Vacant replaced all with hatred for all that you

Did you fled when I aimed at abuser made

It about you and your fear like I couldn't have been

Dead bitch what do you want you left at

Lowest and told me your trust is dead up

Front a shield rejected my vision of

What had actually destructed there of

Course you don't really want to mend but

Sure just keep picking up the pen to

Source your mediocre poems using me to

Pour it full of the love you miss but

Trust I don't even want you here 'cause

I don't even care

All my love for you has vanished

From a time lathered in despair

Lost it all when you abandoned

You tell me you live in fear

But crawl back when your man ain't standard

Hear that rapid running clear

Wash it all my sins upended

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook

I left it by the brook
