Trust Me

Drink your juice
And feel it coagulate in your throat
What are you gonna do?
Grab your throat and gasp for air
Then look to me for help
Have you not learned a thing?
I took the picture of the moment
Of your final breath
I made the best of it
And now I leave your lifeless body
On the dirty floor
Just as you deserve

And all the ones at home
Will scratch their heads
Why you're not there
But I don't really care
My life is live
And yours is gone
At least I'm not the one
Whose face is in the dirt

Am I supposed to consider
Your children's tears
I've made them face their fears

And now all I can do
Is replay the scene in my head
It isn't YOU that's dead
How can I continue
To live with these memories
Was it even me?
I let myself become someone
That you couldn't love
Put myself to sleep

It all makes sense
Why you and I are a part of this
Whatever "this" is
How did I get away
With all of the things I've done
And what have I won?

And if there could be forgiveness
To this story arc
Would that be a start?
