Leave me, like they all eventually do, Tell me, is what they say, is it true? Am I the common denominator, the Crying wolf in a victim-less crime? Is that why they all left, left me alone, Watching my life as it passes the time? Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That I'm the reason you've reached the Tether; cut our relationship through, Even if I cried, and tried, to do my best For you Is that why I'm alone, with no company But mistakes I need to atone, haunting Me until I decay to my perforated bone? Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That I can't let go of my own demons, That they are stuck to me like super-glue, And I never tried to stop them hurting you, I let them dig their claws into your innocent Flesh, drag you into the darkness by your legs So that you could feel it- the pain I were in too. Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That I never cared, or even tried to see the real you? Was my vision so clouded, my eyesight so distorted, I could not see you, in my own world of cold blues? Did the storm of my mind consume me so fiercely, That I never realized, after the cyclone died, you were always my one and only silver lining? Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That my intentions were never genuine, I never cared, it was all some magical ruse, I'm the parasite and you were my victim, The vampire who injected you with poison, Turning blood black as it reached your heart Is that why, now I find that we are apart? You left me, like they always do, So what they say, well it must be, It most certainly, has to be true.

Is It True?
Leave me, like they all eventually do, Tell me, is what they say, is it true? Am I the common denominator, the Crying wolf in a victim-less crime? Is that why they all left, left me alone, Watching my life as it passes the time? Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That I'm the reason you've reached the Tether; cut our relationship through, Even if I cried, and tried, to do my best For you Is that why I'm alone, with no company But mistakes I need to atone, haunting Me until I decay to my perforated bone? Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That I can't let go of my own demons, That they are stuck to me like super-glue, And I never tried to stop them hurting you, I let them dig their claws into your innocent Flesh, drag you into the darkness by your legs So that you could feel it- the pain I were in too. Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That I never cared, or even tried to see the real you? Was my vision so clouded, my eyesight so distorted, I could not see you, in my own world of cold blues? Did the storm of my mind consume me so fiercely, That I never realized, after the cyclone died, you were always my one and only silver lining? Tell me, is what they say, is it true? That my intentions were never genuine, I never cared, it was all some magical ruse, I'm the parasite and you were my victim, The vampire who injected you with poison, Turning blood black as it reached your heart Is that why, now I find that we are apart? You left me, like they always do, So what they say, well it must be, It most certainly, has to be true.
