Cruel

Fresh starts from burnt ends

My body can't stand strong, to reminisce is to give in

A hand in the present, a foot in the past

A thirst to move forward, but your demons keep holding us back

Melt away, become estranged

Waiting on a sign, a reason to remain

By your side, by your side

And I know that I can't hide behind words

Are you just being cruel to be cruel?

Blue was the color I thought I knew

But every kiss hits like a bullet, it pierces through

Sorrow like the lines on your palm, I stood by as it grew

Whispers in the attic

A green glow spills and colors this place

One step closer to the edge, nowhere feels safe

The mechanics of disdain

Will only fail you

And I know that I can't hide behind words

Are you just being cruel to be cruel?

Blue was the color I thought I knew

But every kiss hits like a bullet, it pierces through

Sorrow like the lines on your palm, I stood by as it grew

Crises of faith, I won't hide in the folds

Scratch at the walls to get to the core

Comes as you were, as I want you to be

Fire to the fall to get to the core

And I know that I can't hide behind words

Are you just being cruel to be cruel?

Blue was the color I thought I knew

But every kiss hits like a bullet, it pierces through

Sorrow like the lines on your palm, I stood by as it grew

And I know that I can't hide behind words

Are you just being cruel to be cruel?

Blue was the color I thought I knew

But every kiss hits like a bullet, it pierces through

Sorrow like the lines on your palm, I stood by as it grew
