I clear my eyes with tears
Cleaning away the emotion that once filled them
You can't tell me I'm wrong
You can't tell me anything
Don't pretend this isn't what you wanted
To play me
To control me
You saw the dark side
The unforgiving sinner
The bleeding saint
You weren't all you said
A demon in disguise
Now I have my clarity
To see what you are
Reflecting what I've found
Don't pretend these weren't your intentions
Your lies are burning up
What will you turn to now?
Don't pretend
I found you out
You must be proud
You broke me
You gave me my clarity
Acted as though I was your toy
Did you actually believe
You could come out on top
You fooled me
I fooled you right back
Not so strong
Not so tough now
As you bleed
As I bled
See how it feels?
See how it hurts?
This pain
You'll hold it with you
In these last seconds
You're clock is running out
Do you regret it now?
Now that I hold your life in my hands
Your soul
Your heart will grow as cold as your intentions
Slipping away
The time slipping through your fingers
Don't turn to me
Don't bother to plead
The only thing you'll find
Is your own eyes staring back
It's getting dark now
Just in your eyes
All the light gone
Forever
Time to sleep
Time to go
You best repent
Before the Devil comes knocking
Thank you, my love
You've given me clarity
And I gave you peace
Tell me who came out on top?
Going
Going
Gone
