Promised

Hollow eyed Lost sense of what's inside The stars aligned I see what formed that night You've died a thousand times Left every soul behind Craving those fucking lines And thinking you'll still be alive You can't relate Live on and recreate Save your soul You're killing me With selfish hate Blacken my eyes with rage Rage Pretty lies Clinging to your demise Your parasites seemed to have reached your mind And now we're terrified You'll never win this fight I think you'd rather die than try to save our lives You can't relate Live on and recreate Save your soul You're killing me With selfish hate Blacken my eyes with rage Rage Sometimes I dream of days When your soul remained unchanged But you never meant what you said You broke your promises You blamed my mother And fell even further I'd wished that you'd listened But you fell in love with your addiction I made a wish that night That I would end the fight and let you go I'd let you go I'd let you go You can't relate Live on and recreate Save your soul You're killing me With selfish hate Blacken my eyes with rage Rage I cried out to you We did not hide from you What more can children do? All this wasted energy Stared through eyes that let us bleed You caused so much pain and misery Misery Thank god for my mother For my sisters and brother We've held onto each other Each other Hard to believe you aren't the same Just a distant memory I'll hold your pictures to the flame Into the flame
