I watch the dragons in your eyes 
As they burn you with the lies 
You try to contemplate 
Come up with a quick reason to avoid the plate 
That has been served to you 
And there’s nothing you won’t do 
Even sacrifice me at the altar of your greed 
Full of glee as I bleed 
Out on the table as they slice my skin 
I only ever wanted to love him 
But they take me apart by degrees 
But I don’t live my life on my knees
So I slash and burn 
Watch the story take another turn 
As you scream into my face
Thinking you can replace 
What is etched in stone 
As if this place could be my home 
In your slack jawed hate 
I know there’s nothing that can sate
What you’ve come to crave 
It’s like I’m a life raft you use to save
Yourself and I drown 
In the ocean of you pushing me down 
Than you say thanks 
As if you can pay off the banks 
With a lone 
But the woman that you stone 
Will come back to bite 
I know you live for thinking its alright 
And you play that note 
In your head as the thoughts you quote 
Seem to take form 
But I’ve known it since I was born 
That no diamond could ever equate 
To what I knew in that other state 
And it’s like your vines 
Come to destroy all that is mine 
You burn my things 
Then say its because the air has wings 
And wants to take flight 
But I know its more of the same shite 
But I can’t fight 
As it all piles up 
And effigy of what once was love 
In mired sin 
I’ve never known selfishness like him
