Fire From The Fallout
Lyrics
My god, what have I done?
I've faltered for the last time
Mendacious tendencies found in the wake of deceit
Lovers conjoined through the bond of their word
But such bonds are broken by those who neglect all hope
Perdition waits as the noose tightens
Around the neck of the pernicious
I stabbed you through the back
And it pierced through my heart
Dear god what have I become?
You burned at the stake
Skin charring, but at peace
You saw the world in me
I refused to see home in you
I sought out solace far from the sun
Yet every time I craved peace I found you
Cold and empty, lost amongst the fervent
This jarring sensation of knowing the truth
Thoughts of forever alone set free through notions of panic
But know love, I'm with you, to the bitter end
You burned at the stake
But kept playing with fire
Imprisoned by my selfish desire
We built this home
To thrive as one
Yet you're left to feel all alone
Your color turned to gray
My armor turned to rust
You let my roots in your soil
Yet I let you decay
My god what have I become?
The hideous creature that I had became is gone
Only ash remains from putting out
The fire from the fallout
The mistakes that I regret
Insidious lust, I deny you
Your malignancies from flourishing
All unruly desires never to be satiated again
A love once flourishing, diminished to nothing
You burned at the stake
But kept playing with fire
Imprisoned by my selfish desire
We built this home
To thrive as one
Yet you're left to feel all alone
Your color turned to gray
My armor turned to rust
You let my roots in your soil
Yet I let you decay
My god what have I become?
