Another knife in my hand,
A continous cycle.
Add your name to the book
[the one locked in my heart]
Magenta tears mean nothing anymore
And neither do your promises.
I sit in the frost of your shadows,
Dew drops on fingertips, on cracked concrete.
I want to blow up from all these emotions;
Take a vacation from feeling.
[i think i still love you... but i don't]
Lightening strikes inbetween heart beats, but I survived. So excuse me if I laugh in the face or your mindless games.
A little 3D birdie told me I can't rely on homosapiens,
that even evolution can't change the fact that people lie;
I've accepted that,
and as I walk this neon city street,
I'm moving on, I keep on going.
Swimming towards doom,
Drowning in magenta flames...
[pardon me while i burst]
A conveyer belt of sorrows;
You can't pick and choose,
It just comes to you.
I'm sorry for protecting my heart...
Thank you for protecting my dagger
(I've always needed someone to blame, when the magenta blood drips)
Pardon me for never changing
Pardon me for staying the same
