[Verse 1]
It starts with Hemet days
At our practice space
Young minded, unminded
By the thought of the chase
You often spoke of respect
And I hailed you for that
But that's not given it's earned
And I'll take what's mine back
[Chorus 1]
You cease to exist
I'm ripping you from my memory
The voice in your head
Destroyed the friendship we made
What's done is done
You chose to turn and run
Cease to exist to me
You cease to exist to me
[Verse 2]
Second year, second verse
Now two years have passed
Always playing the victim
Your greatest role to cast
Too many ideals only succumb to a drone
I'd call hypocrisy
But you won't answer your phone
[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I'd be someone
That you just threw away
Forget my fucking name
You are no friend to me
[Chorus 2]
You cease to exist
I'm ripping you from my memory
The voice in your head
Destroyed the friendship we made
What's done is done
You chose to turn and run
Cease to exist to me
You cease to exist to me
[Bridge]
You submit to all your demons inside
But now you're dead so fucking stay dead
No more wasting my time
I hate that I'm expected to swallow my anger
This is the way your world ends
[Breakdown]
This is the way your world ends
Not with a bang, not with a whimper
For when you are gone
No one will weep
(No one will weep)
[Chorus 3]
You cease to exist
I'm ripping you from my memory
The voice in your head
Destroyed the friendship we made
What's done is done
You chose to turn and run
Cease to exist to me
You cease to exist to me
