Giving into the evils of empathy

Hollow pillars uphold a bedlam of lies

In the dawning of blind love

Deviant devotion is carved into stone

Falling into a fateful night

Fumes of failure arise again

From the sickness and bliss of the needle

I fucking begged

You could only see

What I never wanted to be

Loveless words burn so brightly

Insecurities bleed

I touch but can no longer feel

The throbbing hand of need

This place has become so toxic

Yet we still need to breathe

Break one more promise

I can’t save you

Burn one more promise

You can’t save me
