Undertow

My skin is like paper; your words are like scissors
Carving words into me, I am your thesis
Notions of malice put on full display
Shreds of my hope going astray
Shrines of tyranny on top of my spine
I'm severed in half, not from the sides
On top of that throne is the heart of a liar
Stealing the crown is my one true desire

Stay away, now
Stay away, please
Stay away, now
Stay away, please

Why didn't you listen? Just stay away
You're causing my heart to fucking decay
All I want is some peace of mind
You can't even give me that; fucking why?!
I never want to see your face again
Don't even bother asking "why, how, when?"
So long to you, I'm fucking gone
Hell hath no fury on a scarred one's scorn

In case you didn't hear me, the first time
All I need is for you to say goodbye
From my life, my dreams; every cloud in the sky
Every puff of smoke I walk through, day and night
I don't know what I'd do if I saw you again
Unspeakable things aren't that far of a stretch
This is my final ode to you
I'll call you again when my life is through

What do I have to do to get this through your head?
You're the last person I want next to me, on my bed
Go back to where you came from, take that cozened throne
Let the undertow drag you back to the place you call home
What do I have to do to get this through your head?
You're the last person I want next to me, on my bed
Go back to where you came from, take that cozened throne
Let the undertow drag you back to the place you call home
