that internal friction: the initial impulse for revenge, her guided black addiction the shock of the attraction, the manipulation and the crushing realization that your own actions laid the groundwork for the heartbreak
It was somewhere we went to and it was In so many ways strange, between the hurt, revenge, pleasure, and. Her eye rolling extacy, so filled so fully,
Stretched out. Beyond comparison,
I learned a dark lesson.then,
I wanted to stop it before it was
So deep inside of you,
But when I objected,
You pulled it deep,
in my misery it
Injected, so much more
Thank could of,
I built a stage out of jagged glass,
To watch you walk and watch you
I wanted the sting, I wanted the burnr
A lesson in spite for the tables to turn
I pointed the way,
The pleasure u got
Became oddly,
Our mutual desired,
Satisfaction
No way would I ever
Expect I would ever enjoy
The pleasure of this
But. It eccalated to a
Quite beautiful c
Visual
Contrast is the best of all,
Of
I opened the door
To the very thing I couldn’t ignore
Thought I’d be cold, thought I’d be hollow
But I found a dark rhythm I started to follow.
(Chorus)
And the ghost of a choice is the hardest to kill
I played the hand, and I’m paying the bill
It was never the love, just the pull of the pride
Now the echo is rising, nowhere to hide
The seeds that I scattered are blooming in gray
And I’m watching the daughter walk the mother’s old way.
(Verse 2)
She looked at me with eyes I once knew
But a different light was shining through
She asked for the script that I wrote in the dark
Never meant for a flame, just a spiteful spark
And it breaks me down, yeah, it shatters the frame
To hear my own shadow calling her name
I fell for the heart, not the ghost of the sin
But I taught her the game, so how do I win?
(Bridge)
I tried to hold the leash, but I let it go slack
Now I’m staring at the void, and there’s no turning back
The sins of the mother, the trap that I set
Are tangled in the girl I haven’t lost yet
It’s a mirror, it’s a curse, it’s the truth on the floor
I’m the architect of the closing door.
(Outro)
Yeah, I’m the one who opened the door.
It was my own hand.
Just a lesson in spite.
Now I’m losing the light.
The circle closes tonight.
