Like Hell

Sacrifice my flaws to your perfection
 And I'll bury my thoughts in the remains
 Burn me at both ends and meet my ashes in the fray
 Symbolic of your presence
 I remain a victim of your grace
 Gather me still in your pocket
 Carry me with you, a noose-like locket
 Forgive me for all the strain I leave
 Resting around your throat
 Leave me on your side
 So you can come and go
 This is where I bury what remains
 A fragment in the chain
 This is where I go when I'm alone
 Faded light
 As I close my eyes and I'll become what I hate
 And to you I am a failure
 Of all the years that we've wasted
 I haven't slept in what feels like years
 Resting around your throat
 Leave me on your side
 So you can come and go
 This is where I bury what remains
 A fragment in the chain
 This is where I go when I'm alone
 Resting around your throat
 Leave me on your side
 So you can come and go
 This is where I bury what remains
 A fragment in the chain
 This is where I go when I'm alone
 Grind my bones to reveal my worth
 Lost in the ash from the fires of your past
 There's nothing left here to hold on to
 Burn it down, leaving a life like hell
 Break the chain's you've wrapped around me
 I would love to lie by your side
 I won't be the only one waiting in the cold, begging for the sun
 I'd live there in the dark and you'd never know
 You've got your demons; we're weaved into your clothes
 We're spread across your bedroom floor and that's all I am anymore
