The seeds had been planted in advance Still all this despair has made a mess Revenge on my lips tastes sickly sweet In wake of my pride’s bitterness
Devotion is poison, so toxic Passion is venom, it’s deadly Love is a cancer, a liar Weaving corruption through every organ It’s always been easy, too basic Life is now dealing in credit All of my debts come together Fate is an agent wanting repayment
I made my bed, I crossed the lines I tasted seduction so malign It’s purring a warning in my ear Confirming the fears I define
Hypocrisy sickens and haunts me Fuels the fire, the hunger Wary and scheming, I want this Dulling the blade was never an option Skeletons buried much deeper Hidden and padlocked, this closet Proffers the nerve to point fingers Throw accusations, keeping my secrets
What is this grief surging through my veins Devouring me whole? What is this sting crippling me? A total breakdown
Thrown out of balance, caught off-guard Seeing the end before the start In spite of my sense, I lost control Leaving me battered and scarred
Feeling mistreated, resentful Boundaries are bleeding, uncertain Blurred by the act of commencement No reservation and no discretion Driven by predicting the future Test every option ruthlessly All these emotions confound me Feel like a stranger in my own skin now
What is this grief surging through my veins Devouring me whole? What is this sting crippling me? A total breakdown
