Burning Memory

The walls are closing in
Painting the room in red
Echoes of the promises
That we left for dead

I'm choking on the ash
Of a burning memory
Another heavy breath
In this suffocating city

Did you feel the fracture?
I felt the bones ignite (why?)
Did you walk away?
To survive the endless night?
Was I not enough?
You were everything and more
But the love we built
Became a casual day of war

Tear me apart
Stitch up the pieces
We're dancing in the dark
While the suffering increases

I'm holding on to glass
I'm bleeding out my pride
A beautifully broken vest
Nowhere left to hide
I love the way it hurts
But I hate the way you leave

Venom in my veins
But it tastes like your kiss
A masochistic cycle drawn to the abyss
You dragged me through the dirt
Then washed me in the rain
Why do I find comfort in the center of the pain?

How do we recover?
There is no turning back
Will you ever forgive me?
My heart has faded black
Is this the bitter end?
It's the only way to breathe
Now watch the ashes scatter
As you say your days

Tear me apart
Stitch up the pieces
We're dancing in the dark
While the suffering increases

I'm holding on to glass
I'm bleeding out my pride
A beautifully broken mask
Nowhere left to hide
I love the way it hurts
But I hate the way you leave

Why did you walk away?
Why did you walk away?
I hate to bleed to see
I hate the way you lay
But I love the agony
