You say speak, and I spill
You say stop, I stay still
New lines, I trace in your head
Rue proves that she's strong
To undo what went wrong
I lie as you lie on my chest
And as I'm facing your back it'll need just one
I bring all my daggers but I use none
It's the secret I keep that keeps me up
To blame all the evil in my blood
I hold no mystery
It's what I say as you believe
I play my cards of deceit
I could swim, or drown more
You pick your poison or your cure
And I could die but I don't deserve that kind of peace
And I know that you know just what I mean
So at what point of knowing are you just humoring me
When I say that I'll do anything for you
Well that means that you know you could do anything to me
Oh it burns inside
In ashes and stains
Of your name
So go
And when smoke unwinds
Take what you find
But leave the blame
I'm at a cross-road between
What is right and what's easy
I find myself in this spot yet again
Paint me a stranger in your head
Spit me out before you go to bed
Can't you see these metaphors
Are all in vain
Past the light post by the sea
In the forest out of sight
I buried memories, now they grow overnight
Lying here as I bleed from wounds on each side
Nobody's fault
My scene, my crime
Oh it burns my soul
I'm forced to see it through
For the eyes are last to go
And when the blood runs cold
And dries the aching heart
When shame plays its part
And I'm longer gone
Than I was around
Then you should come home
I'll pack all my mistakes
Leave everything for you
But I'll take the blame
