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.
