---

you drank all that pretty poison

when all you needed was a tiny drop

your blood promise broken softly

as you wait for your heart to stop

a little vial with a little secret

a purple flower with a deadly bloom

you made your bed and you’ll never leave it

swathed in the sheets of your sullen tomb

you don’t deserve to be saved

(you know you did this to yourself)

you fell in love with your pretty poison

a quick escape from the life you’ve led

there’s no cure for selfish cowards

there’s no hope for the living dead

a dark heart with a darker secret

a purple bruise with a deadly bloom

your fate sealed with a broken promise

and your eyes have become a tomb

you don’t deserve to be saved

(you know you did this to yourself)

to gaze upon you

is to view the grim visage of death

you’re far more than a childish nightmare

you’re a phantom from the depths

how often do you watch me sleeping?

your head upon my breast

the rasps of your breathing timed

with the rise and fall of my chest

you don’t deserve to be saved

(you know you did this to yourself)

i know it’s inevitable

you’ll creep into my bed

i know it’s inevitable

you’ll crawl inside my head

scratching at the inside of my skull

i can feel you behind my eyes

i know by heart the exact moment

at which i lost hope
