Gaslight Affair

You killed a woman for them
Me, you tried to kill my mind
You made me mad
Worthless as an animal you said
Now you're helpless and I am mad

I was drawn to you like a fly to a flame
Edge like a blade and you carved out your name
An addiction like a curse
But alone feels worse
So, I followed you home
Just to sing you the verse
Of my song
And you sang along with me

Sobered up and you said you had enough
Of a reckless life that you tell like a lie
Your kiss is a fist like a solar eclipse
When your eyes become dark
I still can't resist
The way that is feels
It appears almost real

But your just like me
And that's why I believe
Every lie you tell
That's why I remain
Imprisoned in your cell
That's why I concede
That the light is getting dim inside this gas-lit house

They're not strangers
They are my own people
They are all I have
I, I want to see them
I, I will see them
If you see anyone it will be a doctor

Over the years it's become crystal clear
Nothing is real its just all smoke and mirrors
It's just that same cold disillusion
It's the same old chronic confusion
That you sow like a seed

And it grows
Underneath
That's why I believe every lie you sell
That's why I remain sitting on the shelf
That's why I can see that
The light is getting dim inside this gas-lit house

You know perfectly well how you imagine things
Don't say that
I have been better the last two weeks
Haven't I?
What do you mean?
You know very well what I mean
I've been trying so hard
And I have been better because you've been kind to me

You are the worst thing
I thought you were perfect
A potion of poison and poetry
I told you my secrets
You told me you loved me
And you told me I'm worthless and underserving
You are the worst fucking pain I ever felt
You are the worst fucking dream I ever dreamt
I hope someday you notice
I hope someday you notice
I hope someday you notice
How cruel you are
