You thought you would find
A world of triumph and splendor
The world would be yours
If you could leave me behind
Led out the door by the hand of another
Hoping to find the leisure you had consigned
But you came to find
That your languor was lingering
Along after I was gone
Curbed by the choices that we made
When our love was still going strong
Angry and loathsome
You're still mired in misery
Bitter that you're
The source of hate in your heart
Selfish and vengeful
Cast your curse onto others
Shamelessly you
Have turned your blood into pawns
Fury from failure of your
New method fed a mean
Ambition for me to fall
The hateful heartstrings
You've been tugging at
Are all just sewing my wounds closed
Hedging your hope
And happiness on my despair
But now that you're gone
What have I got left to beware
Go fan your fire
But I won't be burned by your flames
Cause I cut the wire
That fed your spite into my veins
Oh every affront you confide
Draws my smile ever near to my ears
Swallow your pills
Till you've numbed everything you can feel
