The Volunteers - Eraser Lyrics

Don't make a scene
It's what she promised me
And no one here is correct
The strangers just collect
Her fragile pieces
This is not a start
It's the means to an end
All she does is just pretend
I'm made of paper
I need an eraser

You'll be gone by now
I'll find you again somehow
Haunting me in this dream
But I promise I won't slow you down

So this is it
We're giving up, you quit
I wish I could say I understand
But I'm so frostbitten
And you've melted this dream away
No goodbye, no resolve
This isn't you, I know the way you are
Tears turning into sleep
This is the end
I'm giving up

You'll be gone by now
I'll find you again somehow
Haunting me in this dream
But I promise I won't slow you down

(Eraser)
(Eraser me now)

I'm holding onto this memory
This last light, this last beacon of hope
Waiting for my life to return back to normal
The normal I knew
The normal I thought was normal
The normal I wanted to be normal
You're a ghost, a shadow
An angel, a demon
A good movie, a bad review
You're the last thing I see before the world fades out again
And all I'm left with is visions of warmth
The snow, the leaves, and the trees
This fear of drowning, suffocating from the inside
Trapped in a raging cloud of self doubt and pitiful angst
Jealous of the next one, envious of everyone
You stripped me of that last part of me I can recognize
And you still can't say why

(Eraser)

You'll be gone by now
I'll find you again somehow
Haunting me in this dream
But I promise I won't slow you down
