Squeeze my heart, turning into stone
Leave your burning handprint on my chest
The glowing fire incinerating me from within
I’m combusting into flames
You said you will protect me
Love me and cherish me
You asked me to open up
To start loving again
I know I’m sinful
Always angry, always loud
Disgraceful at times
But you accepted me, faulty and foul
You said you will be there
You said you will stand by me
You said and you said
And at a point, I chose to believe
I said it once, I’m saying it again
You’re a man, you’ll love and you’ll love
And you’ll destroy whatever left.
It's the simple truths that men lie
My bones are liquefying
My eyes are turning white
My breath is snatched violently from my lungs
I’m losing myself to the devouring pain
My eyes are now chocking on their burning tears
Red lava rivers
I’m suffocating, grabbing at my throat for air,
Dry and cracking
I’m retreating to the road I initially chose
The path I said I ought to take
Riding alone with my arts and rhythms
Finding solace in the misty mountain’s rocks
Let the cold wash over me
Hailing me down with biting snow
Maybe it will be more gentle on me
Saving me from my burning soul
