Time after time, I've compromised To be the person you want me to be Trusted you, now I see, I don't need you, you need me You would let us both drown I lift you up and you drag me down We were family, bathed in gold You sank down then your skin turned cold Digging, always digging Your well of sympathy When I try to help you You never fail to hurt me Memories overpowered, strangled by weeds Remains picked to pieces, just let me grieve Our trust has been devoured, the marrow sucked clean You germinate Cancer grows from the seed You won't manipulate me Said it's over, you're clean No healing scars, just salting wounds I don't believe you Salvation denied Cut the root of the tumor inside Salvation denied Cut the root of the tumor inside Parasite I cut you off I refuse to be tied to you as you rot Parasite No healing scars, just salting wounds I lost sight through the darkness around you (through the darkness around you) You stay in the ditch Chained to your vice You choose to decompose I choose to leave you behind (I choose to leave you behind) You stay in the ditch Chained to your vice You choose to decompose I choose to leave you behind (I choose to leave you behind) (I choose to leave you behind)
