Forgotten Girl

Lyrics

Verse 1
In the dark of night
I crawl through black mud
A lifeless beast in my skin
With a shard of her name

I pass the ash gates
Hear wolves in the reeds
They call me a monster
But they never saw her bleed

Pre-Chorus
I search every ruin
Every bone-strewn hall
For the girl they forgot
For the girl they let fall

Chorus
Forgotten girl
I still hear you
Forgotten girl
I come for you

They see a monster
I see the truth
Forgotten girl
I’m breaking through

Verse 2
Your ribbon is torn
On a thorn in the briar
Your doll in the ditch
Cold eyes in the mire

The king made his banners
The priest sold his prayer
They pointed at my shadow
And laughed at what I wear

Pre-Chorus
But I know your face
In the ruin and rain
A spark in the gutter
A name in the pain

Chorus
Forgotten girl
I still hear you
Forgotten girl
I come for you

They see a monster
I see the truth
Forgotten girl
I’m breaking through

Bridge
If I am a beast
Then let my teeth show
I’ll tear down the silence
Where the cold lies grow

I carried the blame
Through the blood and the frost
Now I walk like a nightmare
To find what they lost

Chorus
Forgotten girl
I still hear you
Forgotten girl
I come for you

They see a monster
I see the truth
Forgotten girl
I’m breaking through
