Is it wrong of me to not be feeling
The guilt I associate with seeing your life
I refuse to let myself fall back down again
I've succeeded where you sacrificed
You're thinking I'm all talk and showdowns
I think you sold yourself out to better
Your percent of nothing, what've you got now?
A bleeding wrist and a fucking burning letter.
You set me on fire, and wanted me to burn
I became the flames, was delivered unto what I earned
I saw the fear in your eyes when I didn't fall to bones
I see the fear, you've trapped yourself all alone.
Building this shelter, I led the flock astray
Lead me not into temptation, I won't be lost
Like the countless promises you made, traded in and out
Tell yourself it's alright, there's no higher cost.
Do you dislike the taste of truth, roll around
All the bullshit falling from your mouth decays
And you're buried in your karma, this is it
Make some fucking changes or end it today.
Purifying fire, covering my face, I'm alive,
I'm alive and I'm not ashamed, you're my lost memory
I finally broke that lethal cycle, while you suffer
I won't reach out, with you it's just the same old story.
I know a lost cause when I see one
And I saw it when your face
Came into sight and I was frozen
You feel hard from love to disgrace
Paint your wounds with purpose
As if they mean anything at all
You're out of sight, I'm still laughing
Proud to have broken through this wall.
And they're still drowning you
And you're still suffering their face
And they're still drowning you
You just contribute to your fate.
This is your karma.
This is your karma.
And I'll still burn.

This is a really great set of lyrics! I write 99% lyrics, with an occasional poem thrown in here and there, and it's great to see someone who writes awesome lyrics like you! A lot of people on AP try to classify their work as lyrics, not really knowing the definition of the word, but you obviously do. Great lyrics, and keep it up!

Karma fucking hates me. So there's that.
Fire cleanses you know . . . seems like you do. Like the vehemence and spiteful air of cold triumph that seems to permeate this piece. It has an eeriness to it that I love, something pathological and squirming. Makes me think of shadows with fangs. It shreds whoever this was written about. First stanza is a gem in and of itself. Bravo, biatch. -
This is really emotional. And the Karma part it works. You seem to have some string feelings here and you conveyed it very well well. I like the rhyme scheme... it is a little different and the word that you use portray you meaning well. Good Write
