lyrics

Think of me, think of me fondly
Cause I'm coming clean and I'm not who I thought I'd be
Now you're in my past
The penultimate chapter
Of my graduating class
I could not do better

But now he's gone
The story's done
The writer dropped dead August 21
The more I write
I realize
This epilogue's revealing all my flaws

And yet still I long for one more story
(My life's a mess of consequence)
The allegory
(I once presented as my essence)
Don't live up to what I should be
But I'm out of ink
I'm scraping papers just to say something

But now he's gone
The story's done
The writer dropped dead August 21
The more I write
I realize
This epilogue's revealing all my flaws

As life goes on we keep on finding things to process
Learning that I'm wrong is just a sign of all my progress
And I'm selfish, and I'm jealous, all the things that stain my pride
But this life will just get more hellish if you ignore what's inside

And yeah he's gone
That story's done
But I switched out my old author for a new one
I move along
I'm getting strong
And every sequel all of my evils will lose their brawn

I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Cause I switched out my old author for a new one
I'm getting strong
I'm getting strong
And every sequel all of my evils will lose their brawn
