lied through my teeth

stay with me until I fall asleep
the devils on my shoulder
now my eyes are fixated on what might hurt
and make my skin bleed
this great war has survived a lifetime
last my whole fucking life
should I perform the deed?

I know I said I'd stop
but it was calling out to me
I felt like myself as it went deep
don't hate me please
heard your voice for a second
'I love you, stop' I heard you scream
but it felt too good for me to think
I'm sorry, I lied through my teeth
I never stopped
I just said it to make you happy
