Sword of Damocles

I waste my words on someone who doesn't care

I don't know why

I hate that I try so damn hard

Twelve hours away

Old mem'ries are warped, I wait

For something to change

As if I could pray it into being okay

Like it's all okay

Oh I'd rather you be mean than just give me nothing at all

Silence isn't peace, this mind palace threatens to fall

You're the Sword of Damocles

Keep hangin' over me

I wish I could say

I don't care if you stay

But you've got this hold on me

It's the pit of lunacy

I'm begging the king

Don't cut through the string

Just let me be free

Secrets stain your lips a cherry red

I guess I'll never know why you left

You've got me thinkin' I'm the one to blame

Does that make you feel like it's okay

You're the sword of Damocles

Keep hangin' over me

I wish I could say

I don't care if you stay

But you've got this hold on me

It's the pit of lunacy

I'm begging the king

Don't cut through the string

Just let me be free

I'm begging the king

Don't cut through the string

Just let me be free
