Damage Control

Free me
I have been sleeping
All of the guilt
All of the guilt that I have felt, for you
If I caved in, gave to the pressure
The pain would only shape me, all for the better
Here lies the manipulator
We are not the same
Though are hearts shriek in pain
We can only hurt ourselves
With ourselves to blame
We are not the same
Though our hearts shriek in pain
We can only hurt ourselves
With ourselves to blame
I die, but I never feel good about it
I die, but I never feel bad about it
I die, but I never feel good about it
You take your closure
I’ll take composure
I hear a heartbreaking symphony
In my mind, it was built into me
Free me, for I have been sleeping
All the guilt I have been feeling
Every night that was spent weeping
Shaking, quaking and shrieking
Shame, taking the blame, all for your careless mistakes
As the story goes… I can forgive you, but I can never forget you
I’ve learned my lessons
Burned into my skin
Your lies came crumbling down
The day your true colors had shown
And I had suffered every day of the week
I lost all hope when I gave in to a parasite
I count myself lucky
I hope you do too
Ego victim, tell us your sins
