You Had Me

I am desire but you are weak

And I despise the sound of leaks

in veins to quiet to even speak

Just bleed despair but never scream

I am revenge and disbelief

And I regret the tracks I leave

in snow that isn't even deep

I hold the blade, sharp as can be

You had me going out of my head

With all the things that you said

You had me going out of my head

But now I walk away from you instead

I am on fire but you retreat

With arteries so tense they shriek

anemic secrets that won't keep

A heart that numb must choose deceit

I am mayhem and treachery

And dead-ends never bothered me

Your hollow voice shouts, "Victory!"

But whispers, restless, when you sleep,

"She had me going out of my head"

I did descend but now I'm free

And I confess you still seem sweet

But you no longer disarm me

You had me going out of my head

With all the things that you said

You had me going out of my head

But now I walk away from you instead
