Breakdown

The seeds had been planted in advance

Still all this despair has made a mess

Revenge on my lips tastes sickly sweet

In wake of my pride's bitterness

Devotion is poison, so toxic

Passion is venom, it's deadly

Love is a cancer, a liar

Weaving corruption through every organ

It's always been easy, too basic

Life is now dealing in credit

All of my debts come together

Fate is an agent wanting repayment

I made my bed, I crossed the lines

I tasted seduction so malign

It's purring a warning in my ear

Confirming the fears I define

Hypocrisy sickens and haunts me

Fuels the fire, the hunger

Wary and scheming, I want this

Dulling the blade was never an option

Skeletons buried much deeper

Hidden and padlocked, this closet

Proffers the nerve to point fingers

Throw accusations, keeping my secrets

Chorus:

What is this grief surging through my veins

Devouring me whole?

What is this sting crippling me?

A total breakdown

Thrown out of balance, caught off-guard

Seeing the end before the start

In spite of my sense, I lost control

Leaving me battered and scarred

Feeling mistreated, resentful

Boundaries are bleeding, uncertain

Blurred by the act of commencement

No reservation and no discretion

Driven by predicting the future

Test every option ruthlessly

All these emotions confound me

Feel like a stranger in my own skin now

:Chorus
