Blood of a Liar, Mark of a Thief

You took it all (I held my breath) You screamed my name (as you fell to your death) The crowed gathered round but I stood tall with your body laying so broken you've never looked so small The rain started pouring down (oh how I smiled) There were sirens in the distance (only a half a mile) Down below the screaming sounds I can't hear a thing everyone's gaze is upon me waiting for the once caged bird to sing (Liar) You promised me everything did your words mean nothing were they empty lifeless without a theme (Thief) You took hold of my heart shredded my soul, raped my mind did it mean anything was I even worth it ir just another part to your scheme The rain washes away the evidence (the blood, sweat, and tears) But rain can't wash away everythng (no, not everything) not the pain suffered through the years Your words were so sweet who was I to judge I fell for your parlor tricks over the edge with one small nudge Such a beautiful disguise you wore silly little me I fell into your web of lies far too young to ever see (Liar) You promised me everything did your words mean nothing were they empty lifeless without a theme (Thief) You took hold of my heart shredded my soul, raped my mind did it mean anything was I even worth it ir just another part to your scheme You could have been mine (does it hurt now, hush, be quiet now) You sold your soul for a good time (does it hurt now, hush, don't speak now) Did you think I'd never know? (does it hurt now, does it hurt now) Now you must reap the crop you've sewn (Liar) You promised me everything did your words mean nothing were they empty lifeless without a theme (Thief) You took hold of my heart shredded my soul, raped my mind did it mean anything was I even worth it ir just another part to your scheme (Liar) You had such a pretty little plan (Thief) Carried out by such a careless little man
