tombs

so you want to play the victim?
that's funny because I memorized the book
I'll be your villain if it suits you
I gave you more than I ever took

you're a never ending wasteland
maybe that makes me a crook
to try to build a life beside you
when you like your home to be a tomb

and isn't that way
most people like to play?
wanting everything
then giving nothing
consternation when it fades away

and isn't that the way
I hurt myself today?
for my basic need
this hole inside of me
getting bigger when I see your face

I'm in a constant battle
to keep my head in reality
to push against my own amygdala
the monster inside has got me in its teeth

the broken pedestal I built for you
the last lesson I'll need in "it takes two"
your ignorance snarls down the barrel
I'll pull the trigger even if I don't want to

I'll break away
my soul won't lay
in another grave
I gave it your name
