[Verse 1]

Awake, I relive each moment

This room holds my discontent

You over me

Everything was empty

I held my breath, you consumed me

[Chorus 1]

I always begged for your temperance

You set soil in each precious moment

I lay silently with my own shame

I only wanted your refrain

[Verse 2]

How did it come to this?

How do we grow from it?

The steps forward diminishing

And when we sit with everything

We wilt away, we wilt away

Where is my home in this decay?

[Chorus 2]

I always begged for your temperance

You set soil in each precious moment

I lay silently with my own shame

I always begged for your temperance

You set soil in each precious moment

I lay silently with my own shame

I only wanted your refrain

[Bridge]

I know you know it too

Cause they hunger and hurt more than you

I know you know it too

Shivering, the narcissist consumes

[Chorus 3]

I always begged for your temperance

You set soil in each precious moment

I lay silently with my own shame

I only wanted your refrain

Not for you to stay

I only wanted your refrain

To ever feel safe
