Temporary Death

I’ve set my right hand on the fault line But who is there to hold the rest Million tremors coming for you And I can’t help you stand the test Give power now unto my left hand It upon the trigger rests One bullet left to stop the quaking One bullet saves you from certain death I aim and fire towards love forgotten I kill you now to prevent your pain You’ll die tonight in hate and darkness Yet wake tomorrow in calming rain So hate me now until forever Just know I cared until the end Hate me, breathe me out like fire But just know these scars will mend
