Alexis Silvestra - Barbed Wire Lyrics

I faced myself as half of a reflection
The product of imposing misdirection
Entirely out of focus blended background
Blurred before the picture could show itself

Imbalanced composition lost our context
Candlelight makes the truth distorted
Just a girl how are you to know
When you're a puppet in a one-sided show

Overthinking what you said
I always get stuck in my head
At least I am aware of that
No surprise attack
But

My glasses they were roselit
Pricked your thumb on the thorn of commitment
Your presence was a ruin
I was the case and it closed at the ruling
Made my claim you called a bargain
Every word that would hang was so harming
I was the wildfire
Longing was too dire
You were the shock of the touch
Of the barbed wire

Retracing steps now it's all out my power
Deceptively the most bitter encounter
Now I'm searching the fragments for the detour
Clipping wings never felt so unsure

Streamlining the very worst
The loudest voice I've ever heard
Screaming it's depleting
No restores left
Only pieces

My glasses they were roselit
Pricked your thumb on the thorn of commitment
Your presence was a ruin
I was the case and it closed at the ruling
Made my claim you called a bargain
Every word that would hang was so harming
I was the wildfire
Longing was too dire
You were the shock of the touch
Of the barbed wire

At least I know in time I'll be fine
I'll make it out I just have to climb
Seeing myself through critical eyes
It's the odds I must defy
Bordering up cemented so tall
Sentences strung just to make me fall
Tough skin's not found no it's made
When your inner monologue burns every page

My glasses they were roselit
Pricked your thumb on the thorn of commitment
Your presence was a ruin
I was the case and it closed at the ruling
Made my claim nobody's bargain
Everything was so disarming
I was the wildfire
Felt like a bad liar
You were the shock of the touch
Of the barbed wire
