All I ever wanted in life,
it always came with a fee.
A fee that I could never pay
or ever release from me.
I would try and try again,
to just pay off my debt.
But my lust for her,
kept me forever dying on set.
In front of the crowd,
I would scream.
I would die and die again,
but the scene would never end.
Happiness is all I wanted from this.
But I knew from the start it would never work.
Yet I tried anyways,
because I love like I've never been hurt before.
We made a deal,
to grow old together.
But we got tied up in this game,
and now we barely know each other.
Life is too short to live with this debt.
I'll leave it unpaid for now.
Maybe ill come back to it,
and finally release my pain, softly sound.
