Decay

Seeing you is torturous in the worst kind of way
I blush and bite my lip absorb the words you say
Sweet nothings that can't quite fill me up
Increasing my appetite never getting enough

I'm caught in your web and the venom is spreading
A euphoric feeling of careful pretending
Practice makes perfect and your mask is perfected
Mistook for love, all the lies you injected

But beauty there is pain and a ballad unsung
Never noticed danger until I got stung
Now my throat is closing to the words I should say
My heart is inflamed, it's such a perfect decay

So now I bite my lip to hold back the screams
Was traded for love, only existing in dreams
The taste is metallic and raw, on my tongue
You say we're in love well I guess we're just young

But beauty there is pain and a ballad unsung
Never noticed danger until I got stung
Now my throat is closing to the words I should say
My heart is inflamed, it's such a perfect decay

This feeling in my chest is a familiar pain
Keep crawling back to you, there's only me to blame
So caught up in you, but tired of feeling stuck
And if this is my youth, maybe I want to grow up

But beauty there is pain and a ballad unsung
Never noticed danger until I got stung
Now my throat is closing to the words I should say
My heart is inflamed, it's such a perfect decay
