Unevangelized

I crossed the night to meet you again, Ashamed, I know It's just the way you planned
And today I feel the same, I hope you know you're better off dead anyways. As we are both consumed
I never seem to end this peacefully, As we are both consumed I'm victim to my own worst fantasies, truly

I hear your voice, it's devastating as I'm running away
It rings, infectiously, parading as it ruins my veins
And since the poison I confide in likes to spit in my face
I start to panic as I lose what I'm replacing you with

I'm caressed by your darkness, my dearly departed
Your image preserved through this war that you started
When the lips fail to capture, the eyes stay to claim
Healing synchronized with forgetting your name

My waking nightmares are a consequence of speaking your name
Promised a two-faced reassurance that I should have betrayed
I can't move on from you, I'm living where you meant to leave me
A punishment for ever thinking I would see you again

Even the best of us burn, the evil won't leave us alone
And I don't think I paid your price, so far tonight's a sacrifice

I'm caressed by your darkness, my dearly departed
Your image preserved through this war that you started
When the lips fail to capture, the eyes stay to claim
Healing synchronized with forgetting your name

I crossed the night to meet you again, I hope that it was worth it in the end
And all the faith you put in my head, I guess we weren't worthy of it in the end
As we are both consumed
I made it to the end without you here
As we are both consumed, all our stories end in hate and misery

Even the best of us burn, the evil won't leave us alone
By now I think we paid the price, abandoned and left unevangelized
