You never asked to be the world or my ending salvation But you should have known the prominent features I'd built Granted, you were a piece of a puzzle I finished at the end but you never fit so I cut surrounding pieces to finish the end The picture never unfolded the way I knew it should be, my body never fit the gaps in the mirror in my mind, the holes along my sides the bulge at my heart You never chose to be the world or a reasoning admiration But you should have known the prominent habits I'd held Then again you were a piece of a puzzle you finished at the end but you never fit mine I forgot you weren't mine

Angel, priest, monarch
You never asked to be the world or my ending salvation But you should have known the prominent features I'd built Granted, you were a piece of a puzzle I finished at the end but you never fit so I cut surrounding pieces to finish the end The picture never unfolded the way I knew it should be, my body never fit the gaps in the mirror in my mind, the holes along my sides the bulge at my heart You never chose to be the world or a reasoning admiration But you should have known the prominent habits I'd held Then again you were a piece of a puzzle you finished at the end but you never fit mine I forgot you weren't mine
