Only Mistake

Once upon a time
His psychedelic eyes
They drew you deep into a world
Handmade in his design

Bright clustered-diamond stars
Gold veins from cobweb scars
Ran up and down your skin
Like porcelain broke, left bloody shards

Everything glitters in the rabbit hole
Everything glitters when you lose control
It's such dark relief
To spin out and see
That you can be weightless, let go of belief
Then fall down from grace
Meet the ground's cold embrace
He was my only mistake

You followed where he led
Like trails of ghostly thread
Entwined, entangled, interwoven
Now you stand condemned

His crimes, his lies, his rules
His guilt worn proud like jewels
Broken records of your doubt
Sing out, now you're the fool

Everything glitters in the rabbit hole
Everything glitters when you lose control
It's such dark relief
To spin out and see
That you can be weightless, let go of belief
Then fall down from grace
Meet the ground's cold embrace
He was my only mistake

And you play it all over
On the first of October
You borrowed his pen and he borrowed your mind
Skipped class to hang with him
Fell in love with his image
'Cause he was the sun that your orbit defined
Got a little more risky
House parties out in the city
Tell yourself, I'll be more careful next time
Didn't know it'd turn violent
Didn't know to stay silent

Everything glitters in the rabbit hole
Everything glitters when you lose control
It's such dark relief
To spin out and see
That you can be weightless, let go of belief
Then fall down from grace
Meet the ground's cold embrace
He was my only mistake
