The Return

Alone
Once more alone
As the memories weave and fade away
Separation mocks me
Frustration consumes me
Inspiration has grown cold
Even as the longing renews
Desperate I return to you
Broken I return to you
We circle over and over
But still I return to you
What will it take to escape you?
What will it take to escape you?
Is this what you wanted?
To see me humbled
Is this what you asked for?
The final word
Desperate I return to you
Broken I return to you
We circle over and over
But still I return to you
I would tear my eye's out
To never see your face
But all of these scars
Can never be erased
Choke on your words
That have left me bleeding
And may your tears
May your tears burn
We circle over and over
Still I return
I return (ooh)
Desperate I return to you
Broken I return to you
We circle over and over
But still I return to you
What will it take?
To escape you
What will it take?
To escape
