Like Hell

Sacrifice my flaws to your perfection
And I'll bury my thoughts in the remains
Burn me at both ends and meet my ashes in the fray
Symbolic of your presence
I remain a victim of your grace
Gather me still in your pocket
Carry me with you, a noose-like locket
Forgive me for all the strain I leave

Resting around your throat
Leave me on your side
So you can come and go
This is where I bury what remains
A fragment in the chain
This is where I go when I'm alone

Faded light
As I close my eyes and I'll become what I hate
And to you I am a failure
Of all the years that we've wasted
I haven't slept in what feels like years

Resting around your throat
Leave me on your side
So you can come and go
This is where I bury what remains
A fragment in the chain
This is where I go when I'm alone
Resting around your throat
Leave me on your side
So you can come and go
This is where I bury what remains
A fragment in the chain
This is where I go when I'm alone

Grind my bones to reveal my worth
Lost in the ash from the fires of your past
There's nothing left here to hold on to
Burn it down, leaving a life like hell

Break the chain's you've wrapped around me
I would love to lie by your side
I won't be the only one waiting in the cold, begging for the sun
I'd live there in the dark and you'd never know
You've got your demons; we're weaved into your clothes
We're spread across your bedroom floor and that's all I am anymore
