their cries for help became like whispers
almost like the mere passing wind
it blew against the people's ears
their pain ignored, dismissed, unseen

she doesn't recall how she has let
the demons to come, at her, to laugh
at the raging storm inside her head
against the war her heart has stirred up

as cliche as it seems, she is his world
she intoxicates the chemicals he breathes
he couldn't let go of that one girl
her poison seeping to his soul within

like the falling of the autumn leaves
were the tears cascading down her cheeks
no sounds were made from her trembling lips
closing up like leaves dried and crisped

a rose is beautiful but its stem grows thorns
tightly he embraces her, the more he bleeds
the petals are wilting, dying, all forlon
his soul colors the same shade, dark and bleak

they walk alone in the pouring rain
the gloomy skies crying with them
they look like they're to be washed away
their world has crumbled to ashes again

you were the oxygen that ran through my veins
i was the toxic seeping into your lungs
i was consuming the air you breathed
i am poison that infected your life

you were the one who brought out the best in me
while i brought out the worse in you
and knowing that, it sickened you to the core
i am the bad habit you tried to break

you tried to change because you hated who you were
i told you to stay just as you are, you're fine like that
for me, you listened and gave into my words
i am the devil's voice inside your head

you clung onto the rope that leads you into the light
but i cut it off, keeping you here with me in the dark
i didn't want to be alone
i am the demon who led you astray

all you ever wanted in life was to be happy
but i fed on your misery, and that made me happy
at least you were by my side,
i am the thorns that killed the delicate rose

then one day you decided you've had it
you packed your bags and took your leave
i guess i deserved that, to be abandoned
because i brought you pain you'd never fathomed

and i hope these days you've been doing well
i hope you've found your happiness now
because i was the reason for your gloomy days
and i am the one who drove you away
