Between me and you This situation is dire, This letter a cry for ceasefire You wrapped my heart in wire, tripwire I tried to walk away but it snapped, it set me on fire What I would have given to have never tasted desire Of a falsifier like The Killer’s messiah My daddy doesn’t love me anymore Because religion and I had a war And I left out his front door But you, I idealized you up on a pedestal No wonder your love was inaccessible And I was expendable You seem to think I can handle silence My mind is sounding sirens, sounding sirens Do you read this and think compliance? But I see you in corners of mirrors In the faces of the drinkers And in the reflection of liquors Your name on the tail of their whispers God I swear everything here is a trigger And you’re the killer I’m not better than her Or any of the others What do you smoke more of? Cigarettes or your lovers?

Situation
Between me and you This situation is dire, This letter a cry for ceasefire You wrapped my heart in wire, tripwire I tried to walk away but it snapped, it set me on fire What I would have given to have never tasted desire Of a falsifier like The Killer’s messiah My daddy doesn’t love me anymore Because religion and I had a war And I left out his front door But you, I idealized you up on a pedestal No wonder your love was inaccessible And I was expendable You seem to think I can handle silence My mind is sounding sirens, sounding sirens Do you read this and think compliance? But I see you in corners of mirrors In the faces of the drinkers And in the reflection of liquors Your name on the tail of their whispers God I swear everything here is a trigger And you’re the killer I’m not better than her Or any of the others What do you smoke more of? Cigarettes or your lovers?
