pretext

No control!
 Impulsivity will swallow whole!
 Any chance to repent or atone!
 For all the harm that I've done!
 Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else
 You gave me all you had
 But I kept looking back
 Ignoring all of the facts
 I led us both so far along
 I knew that I was wrong
 More scared of being alone
 Than leaving you so scarred!
 I wouldn't let you go
 I dug my claws in deep
 I watched the light depart
 From your eyes pleading so softly
 I know that we will kill the things we love!
 It's a curse in our blood!
 You gave me all you had
 But I kept looking back
 Ignoring all of the facts
 I led us both so far along
 I knew that I was wrong
 More scared of being alone
 Than leaving you so scarred
 Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else
 You gave me all you had
 I wish I gave it back
 But I burnt us to ash!
 I set the fire down to your core!
 Throughout your soul and I left you there!
 Atop the pyre!
 Smoldering on the coals!
 I caused this on my own!
 On my own!
 You gave me all you had
 But I kept looking back
 Ignoring all of the facts
 I led us both so far along
 I knew that I was wrong
 More scared of being alone
 Than leaving you so scarred
 Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else
 You gave me all you had
 I wish I gave it back
 But I burnt us to ash
