Snuff

Bury all I held dear in this tomb Walk away with innocence, infected in this room Your smiling face is nothing but a cage Something to keep me inside while I'm left to stew with rage again So if you hate me, let me die Don't keep me begging for my life Our situations were so grim I saw your patience wearing thin I remember life without this pain When I could smile at the rain You make my life a dark hell These hopes I wish I could let go You always clung too tight to let me go I still think about the love we shared Remembered a time long ago, back when you still cared It's hard to face a life without your light But all of that was torn apart when you refused to fight So breathe your lies into my heart And leave my body torn apart It's not like anyone's there You've left me hanging in thin air I know that I was such a fool But there's no reason to be cruel You brought me up to tear me down I wish I could just burn with this whole town So pour this dirt into my grave It would be all you ever gave You never wanted any help You sold me out to save yourself I only wish I could hate you Then maybe this world wouldn't be so blue But the time for that has come and gone My blackest night is now your brightest dawn My blackest night is now your brightest dawn
