You killed me
And then you sang to me
And it calmed me
And convinced me

You devil
How could you stand there
Cradling me
after you'd burned all of my skin

You deceiving wretch
Convincing me what you did
Was reasonable
Was humane
Wasn't selfish

You sang to me
With that angel's voice of yours
And you made me feel
lost

You made me feel
so small
and then
so loved
it was a lie
we were a lie
you are a lie
