Subtraction Lyrics
The hurt across your face
Your word against mine
The rhythm you repeat,
the beat a hair behind
Were you on my side?
You gave your all but you gave it once
A lesson that you thought
you could teach it when you want
Subtract me from your heart
Little takeaway girl
One step at a time
You made us angry
All your love could hide
We knew you were a, afraid
We accept but unaccept
We made up, we're breaking up
You thought you had enough
but maybe you didn't know
that this stage holds our show
One step at a time
You showed us angry
All your love could hide
We knew you were a, afraid
Misery, I digress
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
to every song that brought you back
Misery, I digress
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
to every song, oh, that brought you back
Your word against mine
The rhythm you repeat,
the beat a hair behind
Were you on my side?
A lesson that you thought
you could teach it when you want
Subtract me from your heart
Little takeaway girl
You made us angry
All your love could hide
We knew you were a, afraid
We made up, we're breaking up
You thought you had enough
but maybe you didn't know
that this stage holds our show
You showed us angry
All your love could hide
We knew you were a, afraid
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
to every song that brought you back
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
to every song, oh, that brought you back

Held in Evagria's embrace, Sirius reflects upon his choice to leave Meri to pursue this dream of discovering the nature of the Keywork. In this moment of clarity, he realizes that, while he embarked on this mission to further humanity's collective scientific knowledge, he also had a burning, selfish desire to prove himself better than his peers and to make Meri proud.
The reality was, of course, that he did not need to go to such lengths to make her proud because there was never a time that she thought poorly of him. In his quest to gain approval, he ended up separating himself from the thing that mattered most in his life.
