She fears her own death
I can hear it in her burning regret
For all the years she spent in the dark 
And I cannot lie, the splinter made a mark
When it was inserted into my side
And I can no longer hide
From my destiny 
It was the best of me
That she dragged to the floor
When she withdrew her adore
And replaced it with a forest fire
But I never tire
Of revelling in my independent spirit
I told you the truth but did you hear it
And I’ll only say it three times 
Once, twice but the last is a strike on your crimes
And I break the hold she thought she had
Because I became the something bad
She couldn’t bear to look at real
And there is a steal 
You can never get a hold of
And call it love
And desecrate the word
What was it that I heard 
You say that day
But I am going away
And I won’t be back
So take up all that you lack 
And build a bridge so you can get over it
Because I have a standard and I will never lower it
To please the baying wolf
So I let the darkness engulf
Me in it’s flames
And I may not be mentioning any names
But I think you know who you are 
You missed me when you aimed for that star
