A Gift I Never Asked For

from Prologue to Percy by Sail Patches

/

lyrics

The first time you woke me up
All I saw were your grins as you stared at the screen
You taught me my name
Said the stars were my future, my destiny, whatever that means

I don't know it now
Oh that hopeful word does not mean a thing to me anymore
All my dreams have gone
And I've not looked back up at the stars
Since you left me alone


The next few times I was awake
You were rushing around me, quite a bit
It's all a blur
Hundreds of blinking lights, what was the point of them


Can't remember now
All my memories got scrambled in cryostasis
You can't fix this now
Oh, your words have all lost their weight
Since you lied to my face

Can you please take this back
Oh, this gift of yours, I never wanted it, in the first place

I think I'd prefer to stay on my own after all
