A fire burns beneath my skin
Fueled by your conscious deception
Each manipulation carelessly sought
With every deliberate misunderstanding
Reckoned
To serve your ends
To serve your selfish ends
In a shallow attempt to be
Blameless
Drunk on thoughts of self-preservation
Mind clouded with grand delusions
As you ignore the sober truth
That all of your problems have been
Penned in your own hand
A fire burns beneath my skin
Fueled by this transparent deception
Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue
Wielding kindness as a tool to beguile
Those that you seek to control
A false and friendless smile
That holds hostage everyone you know
Until your true face shows
Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue
Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue
The echo of your hollow voice
Decays with each passing day
For too long did it reverberate
Through the caverns of my subconscious
Waking and sleeping
Now no stronger than a whisper
May it soon fade to silence
Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue
No more will I lose sleep
To these bitter memories of you
Waste my time
These words of love
Spit from your split tongue
From your split tongue
