Grafitti

The ashes settle in my lungs, I feel the remnants burn
clouding up my vision, once this was everything I knew
don't know how I could be so darn naive
I let my timid heart run free, like I didn't have to worry
but that's another story for a different pain

I'm tearing down the last wall, it's going up in smoke
watching the chemicals drift into the overcast sky
I finally know what I'm facing, scoped your defenses
found the weak link and snapped it just for fun
I've got you blinded by the sugar and spice, not gonna play nice
here's a fact, you're dead wrong if you think I've come undone
I've never been stronger, you should've planned further than this
before you stained grafitti on my heart

Crying anger, cursing your name as I wipe away the cruelty
trying to pull me to your level but I don't work that way
not sure why I just couldn't see it
I listened the lies from every acidic echo raining down
I guess I was still learning how to take it

I'm tearing down the last wall, it's going up in smoke
watching the chemicals drift into the overcast sky
I finally know what I'm facing, scoped your defenses
found the weak link and snapped it just for fun
I've got you blinded by the sugar and spice, not gonna play nice
here's a fact, you're dead wrong if you think I've come undone
I've never been stronger, you should've planned further than this
before you stained grafitti on my heart
