Conium

Bright times left us long behind, my dear
Though we were free you were always prone to fear
You said I was a lost cause, bones buried 'neath the dirt
Then you stood and wiped my blood on your shirt

My fault, you said it was always on my head
I was too naive that's why I wound up dead
The whispers in the night cause reason for alarm
When you sleep you still reach out for my arm

You went and signed you name
Now there'll be hell to pay
I've burned it into your lungs
You were the death of me
To save face, you lying cheat
You brought it into our home

You wouldn't trust me so you kept me locked away
The room was spinning when I told you I could not stay
Now I know that telling you was a mistake
If I'd left there'd be another in my place

There were drinks and merriment
My gold you went and spent
You lost no time in your grief
Now heaven knows your name
You sold your life away
And you took mine like a thief

A whirling feeling that I followed all my days
In a trance that left me with nothing to say
I trusted you to help me and provide
But it shattered cause you cared more for your pride

You were the death of me
My life in misery
A worthless time to endure
A careful enterprise
You built upon my life
But left me dead on the floor

Hard times hit us hard for a while, my dear
Now we're broken cause you cracked and you gave into fear
A lingering wrath burrows under my skin
With no relief cause you betrayed me once again
