Destroyer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know this is all between you and me
My hope exists
How I want it to be
I know this is all between you and me
My hope exists
How I want it to be
Look what I made, so creative
Brave and naked, not at all
That's not what I wanted
Betrayal's deep, known by its face
Eyes are aiming back at me
I'm not the one you wanted
Did you have time to grieve?
'Cause I can't be tamed for you
If there are strings to move
You are the destroyer
Look what you made former
I know this is all between you and me
My hope exists
How I want it to be
I know this is all between you and me
My hope exists
How I want it to be
You know you are dark and twisted
Cold and gifted as you are
I'm not the one to say it
And tears, they come like a geyser
How aggression building up
I'm not the one to stop it
Did you have time to grieve?
'Cause I can't be tamed for you
If there are strings to move
You are the destroyer
Look what you made former
