Thorns
A solitary scratch
From mortal coil into ash
A poison tip straight through my chest
From where your demons rest
Trust fell by the wayside
Venom seeping in my skin
In my reflection there's emptiness
So numb I couldn't feel you invert my world
I never knew a soul could be so cold
You've taken everything I had to give
You cut your heart out to leave as evidence
You've taken everything and it's all so wrong
Now I'm left with your thorns
My sacrifice for yours
My silence for your pride
Blue bodies sinking beneath
Another soul to keep
You clawed your way to me and never let go
Pierced your thorns in me to hold me close
The more I pulled the more it strengthened your hold
I never knew a soul could be so cold
You've taken everything I had to give
You cut your heart out to leave as evidence
You've taken everything and it's all so wrong
Now I'm left with your thorns
You came before I could convalesce
Just to tell me you confess
You've taken everything I had to give
You cut your heart out to leave
You've taken everything and it's all so wrong
Now I'm left with your thorns
You're the thorn in my side
