Safe and sound, in the dark where you'll never again be sought
by vows of a body you had left in envy's wake
Your crown, it's been haunting yellow roses who'd been caught
They drowned, still unwanted under threats that kept them sane
I know you forbade the truth,
but I wanted to be like you
A forgery uprooted from misology
I tried to overcompensate
with photo frames around our faces
Too late, put it all to waste,
devoted flames I'd found in plague
I opened up your heart,
full of what vanity insinuates
You ordered me to watch
as your humanity disintegrated
Regression of obsession for suppression of affection
Severed threading ineffective in retention of attention
Resetting and regretting every letter you were sending
and forgetting in the ebbing that it blended in an ending
Corpses at the door, they were begging my reflection for some more
Take from the core, it's unneeded in your evanescent glow
Eyes in the morgue corroding wishes without question,
and you're holding me to moral codes, well, isn't that "obsession"?
Tried to overcompensate
with photo frames around our faces
Too late, put it all to waste,
devoted flames I'd found in plague
I opened up your heart,
full of what vanity insinuates
You ordered me to watch
as your humanity disintegrated
I'm not so foolish to believe
that I could love with purity
I know the rules and where they lead,
white charcoal gushing fervently
I'm sorry that it's so naïve,
the child you'd carved out of me
You promised me this atrocity
I know you forbade the truth,
but I wanted to be like you
A forgery uprooted from misology
I tried to overcompensate
with photo frames around our faces
Too late, put it all to waste,
devoted flames I'd found in plague
You've broken every heart,
scorned every fantasy, said it's inane
I'm cornered by my want,
cords in your chain, tied into our creation
Suppression of affection
Retention of attention
Regression of obsession for suppression of affection
Severed threading ineffective in retention of attention
Resetting and regretting every letter you were sending
and forgetting in the ebbing the rejection of connection
Regression of obsession for suppression of affection
Severed threading ineffective in retention of attention
Resetting and regretting every letter you were sending
and forgetting in the ebbing the regression of obsession
