pretext

No control!
Impulsivity will swallow whole!
Any chance to repent or atone!
For all the harm that I've done!

Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else

You gave me all you had
But I kept looking back
Ignoring all of the facts
I led us both so far along
I knew that I was wrong
More scared of being alone
Than leaving you so scarred!

I wouldn't let you go
I dug my claws in deep
I watched the light depart
From your eyes pleading so softly
I know that we will kill the things we love!
It's a curse in our blood!

You gave me all you had
But I kept looking back
Ignoring all of the facts
I led us both so far along
I knew that I was wrong
More scared of being alone
Than leaving you so scarred
Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else
You gave me all you had
I wish I gave it back
But I burnt us to ash!

I set the fire down to your core!
Throughout your soul and I left you there!
Atop the pyre!
Smoldering on the coals!
I caused this on my own!

On my own!

You gave me all you had
But I kept looking back
Ignoring all of the facts
I led us both so far along
I knew that I was wrong
More scared of being alone
Than leaving you so scarred
Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else
You gave me all you had
I wish I gave it back
But I burnt us to ash
