lyrics

This body disguises a ruined soul
Breeding malice beneath the surface
I reach out to grasp your memory
But memories don’t feel the same
Hurting you is the only memory worth anything
And I’d give anything, to feel that again
Just to savour the taste

Let’s have this out tonight
I’m sick of walking with glass feet on icy barbs
It’s obvious to me that happiness with you
Will be found at the end of a knife

Yet you play the part so well
The misbegotten martyr, oh so pure
I would have cut my petty heart out
Just to see your bastard smile

This eroticized butchery we called us,
A romanticized massacre where you,
Callously pulled me from the place I worshipped
And left only the wreckage of me

Cut and run,
Save the men and children first,
She’s coming this way.
Flee

I could have saved the world
From so much hurt, if only I could have held my
Grip on her, but wrenching herself from my heart,
She left this guilty carcass behind

Through suffering my own ignorance
I’ve seen your true reflection.
