Death With Good Intentions
You're throat is burning,
But I'm the one that's spitting smoke.
My reptilian tongue,
Takes the time to deceive us both.
You tried to speak to me,
But I only heard a voice from my past.
You reached in my head,
And found yourself all alone.
And you built this future for us,
And you turned my heart into dust.
But I won't follow you.
Well I felt my chest caving in,
And you became my deadliest sin.
But I won't follow you.
And your match head scream,
Lights up the way to the door.
And you set yourself on fire,
Just trying to keep me warm.
And I fueled that flame,
Despite the guilt in my eye.
Behind my convincing claim,
I knew we were always out of time.
And I built this past in my head,
It was you who would never learn.
And I won't follow you.
So you threw your heart on the ground,
You misunderstood what I meant for you now.
And you won't listen to the truth.
Oh I tried to tell you,
I wanted to warn you,
I did everything that I could,
But we know that's a lie.
I tried to love you,
I wanted to love you,
I just couldn't keep up,
I couldn't survive with your love.
And you built this future for us,
And you turned my heart into dust.
But I won't follow you.
Well I felt my chest caving in,
And you became my deadliest sin.
I won't follow you.
