In Loving Misery

You were the angel in my ear
Your knife in my back
Stories of sins and failure
Mistakes I can't take back
You break me down
Play the victim
Place all blame on me
Shattered to pieces
Left me there to pick them up

Failed to see the bigger picture
I can see the fear that you disguise
Persuasive and captivating
You hold the trust of so many lies

I can't feel without hiding the pain
I guess it's my own fault
For not venting my rage
I bury it down 'til it consumes me

You were the devil
Who created my personal hell
Regret my sins and failure
Mistakes i can't take back
Now they'll all see
The true victim
Shouldered all the blame
The basic symptom
Of the wounds that tore me down

I wish i'd never met you
And killed this all from the start
Destructive and castrating
Left a wake of sorrow in my heart

I wish I'd seen through
Your facade of sanity
But now were here laid to rest
In loving misery

Now they'll all know how it feels
When the devil digs her heels in
The kiss of death is so slow
Slowly stealing my soul

Aphrodite of the modern day
Seducing me with all you do and say
So tell me what's the price i paid
To dance in your devil's charade

Now you see the end is near
I will no longer walk with you here

This is my last goodbye
I will not let you take my life
Soak the box and light the flame
Watch the memories turn to ash
And kill the hope that remained

Now they'll all know how it feels
When the devil digs her heels in
The kiss of death is so slow
Slowly stealing my soul
Aphrodite of the modern day (Modern day)
Seducing me with all you do and say (Do and say)
So tell me what's the price I paid
To dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
To dance with the devil in you
