Seared Heart of Stone

Ripples of lava,

Spewing out from volcanos 

I am this flaw…

Sweet shards of I-don’t-knows



I am burning quite aflame

You like to always blame me

For your ridiculous game

Of blasphemous, insidious envy



I’d rather become numb with bad news 

Instead of succumbing to nothing

I am ancient, gross gum on your shoes…

Darling, you were my everything 



Until you stepped all over me and lied 

Until you pressed upon me vanity 

The darkness is somewhat dwelling inside

Our craniums of unknown gravity



You’re the lava in my heart's every beat

I am the volcanos that erupt in repeat

I’m falling apart by the seams of agony 

You take me away with your melancholy
