I broke myself with you right in front of me.

So hard, but you couldn't destroy me.


My love for you was near the end.

My hate for you was worse than sin.


How could you draw the line and cross it?

How dare you waste my time? You never bought it


I broke a thousand years ago.

My heart's the one and only thing I know.

The truth is clear, yet my skin grows old.

My time is near, and I'm done being told!


"Off!", you say, but my emotions were never turned on.

"Stop!", you say, but I never started to love. 


My only hope: what I wish I had; what I want to achieve.

It's out of reach, and I pray so much my knees start to bleed. 


Alas, you will not find me. 

Such crass the demon inside of me.


Only formed from the child that never truly lived.


My mind is old. 

My spirit is bolder, but colder. 


I will not be hounded. 

My feet will stay grounded.


And my mind will speak.

Tell you all the foolishness that I've had to keep!


I just cannot stand you.

But I hate to despise you.


I broke myself with you right in front of me.

So hard, but you couldn't destroy me.


My love for was near the end.

My hate for you - far worse than sin.
