pretext - Capstan

No control

Impulsivity will swallow whole

Any chance to repent or atone

For all the harm that I’ve done

Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else

You gave me all you had

But I kept looking back

Ignoring all of the facts

I led us both so far along

I knew that I was wrong

More scared of being alone

Than leaving you so scarred

I wouldn’t let you go

I dug my claws in deep

I watched the light depart

From your eyes pleading so softly

I know that we will kill the things we love

It’s a curse in our blood

You gave me all you had

But I kept looking back

Ignoring all of th facts

I led us both so far along

I knew that I was wrong

More scard of being alone

Than leaving you so scarred

Selfishly, I try to tell myself

That I was someone else

You gave me all you had

I wish I gave it back

But I burnt us to ash

I set the fire

Down to your core

Throughout your soul

And I left you there

Atop the pyre

Smoldering

On the coals

I caused this on my own

On my own

You gave me all you had

But I kept looking back

Ignoring all of the facts

I led us both so far along

I knew that I was wrong

More scared of being alone

Than leaving you so scarred

Selfishly, I try to tell myself

That I was someone else

You gave me all you had

I wish I gave it back

But I burnt us to ash
