You cry out from the cracks in the earth
Where you're trapped in your personal hell
I may not be enough, but for what it's worth
I'll try to unlock this inferno cell
I'm so frustrated my screams could shatter
Everything I thought I knew
Why the **** is it that my dreams must scatter
Like the shards of what was once true
You're in the prison as I unlock the door
To see your skin licked by flame
I offer water, but to my horror
You seem to be enjoying the pain
You're being burned alive in here
I cry and scream and try so hard
But you just smile as you slowly incinerate
And leave me alone in the dark
You see through the eyes of the truly determined
I don't have a choice but to step aside
Though I can't bear living without you, I've learned
That I'm just along for this horrible ride.

Though I can't bear living without you, I've learned
