Broken Record

I think I might be a broken record

because the holes in my hands match the ones from the cross

and I'm thinking I might be continuously letting my soul die

for the ******* sins of others

Not to mention myself

I'm not Jesus

I'm a locust stealing the fruits of an unripe seed

Planting the hearts I stole in the chests of others

and I swore upon my brother's life

that tonight I wouldn't break them

the chains of the lost that I so easily found

I've got a track record for letting everyone I love down

 

Remember that hole you put in my ground

you told me I was hurricane

not a good thing could come from me

I knew it

I knew it

like the last breath of a lover

I was hovering over your head

waiting for you stop breathing so I could steal your last breath

and didn't I know it

 

I guess this is a warning to all the future people I meet

if you see me on the street, don't be drawn to me

I know what it's like to fall in love hopelessly

cause I hopelessly fell for you

in that same hopeless way he fell for me

and I don't know how to breathe

cause the tongue in my mouth isn't mine anymore

and the words I used I write down feel like someone else's poems

I've been writing down every minute that follows me around

I used to wanna leave this **** hole of a town

 

You helped me figure it all out
