I was trying to rebuild something

You promised that you'd listen to me

But if that were true it meant that you were human

That's something that remains to be seen

You liar, you're only lying to yourself

Forever taking, never giving

Inflict a thousand lashes

I'll set your world on fire

And piss upon the ashes

Now my nerves can't take much more of this

Existence pitiful

My headspace miserable, caged in animal

If only I had a way to regain

The time that you drain

I'd finally escape

Releasing the anger

Has stripped me away

Your sorrow, it strengthens me

Now and forever

Retaliation is my right

Lex Talionis est dextera mea

Retaliation is my right

Eye for an eye until the whole world is blind

You had chosen to make a promise

To be the one to make me believe

My word was sovereign but peace was one thing

You knew that you weren't planning to keep

Liar, you're only lying to yourself

Imposter syndrome at its finest

Look through rose-tinted glasses

Ignore the endless pain

With every day that passes

Now my nerves can't take much more of this

This is untenable

My tension critical, caged in animal

If only I had a second in my life

To get you on your own

Where no one else would know

I'd peel your fucking bones

Kill your disease

Releasing of anger

Has stripped me away

Your sorrow, it strengthens me

Now and forever

Retaliation is my right

Lex Talionis est dextera mea

Retaliation is my right

Eye for an eye until the whole world is blind

Reinvention of my former self

But I'll always hold a piece of what is left

So I'll remember what it feels like

To lose control of my life

To lose my fucking mind

I leave behind all traces of you

Everything
