Std

You fell from my nightmare that keeps unfolding in the dark
Carrying my dead body on your back
And offering cheaply all that you are
You bought them all
Your mask won't stop me from noticing your crime
Next time I see you two together I'll be the one holding a knife
You killed all the innocence in sight to the sound of your victim anthem
That keeps muting any thought in my head
But somehow your five letter name is still stuck in my brain
How come you never know how to rise above that
Your new lover likes it the most when you scream that you don't care about me
You fell sick with someone else's touch, I died when I saw you together
So don't ask if I have a place to sleep 
I'll be waiting in my grave till the crowd gets bored
Counting on my fingers all my violent deaths that are always your fault
And growing numbers in your hand always revert to zero
But I can't ever rise above wanting you so
Place where we are reveals all the steps in our way
So what have you done to find yourself where you are
What have I done to stand beside you waiting for you like I always do? 
You called me your sister knowing that I wasn't for a minute
And I just hope that our story won't be known as the ultimate betrayal
So now that I stood up from my knees I recommend doing it too
Nobody touches what is forever to be mine
You killed all the love in sight to the sound of your victim anthem
May it turn into your funeral march
