Forgot (To Care)

I forgot to remind you 

The truth must be fed 

If you starve it with silence 

You’ll leave it for dead 

I forgot to remind you 

Why dreams don’t come cheap 

Remember I've heard you 

Talking in your sleep 

Why should you care?

Why should you care?

It seems you don't even care, for yourself

The angel stood in the shadow 

Making deals in the dark 

Was hell always burning 

And who lit the spark 

Do I need to remind you 

How the fire took hold 

You were dancing with demons 

Holding on while letting go 

Why do I care? 

Why should I care? 

As if I don't even care, for myself 

So I'll light one last candle 

For the ghost of my name 

May the angels forgive me 

May you do the same

I'll leave you to wander 

With the host you adore 

And if you ever come knocking 

Will I answer the door? 

And let me remind you 

Truth must be fed 

You starved it with silence 

And left it for dead 

Now, why should you care? 

Why should I care?

When I’m trying to take care of myself
