lyrics

A spirit smashed and broken
Like a dog left out in the rain
I’ve been left out in the rain

I begged to be let in
When away was where
I should’ve stayed
And I would’ve welcomed
The change

Smoke caressed candlelight
And your eyes shone
Refracted
I was bought and sold
Like wall street

I screamed until my lungs caved in
A car slammed into a boundary
Four walls that used to be a safe haven
Turned into a prison

Salt in my mouth
That used to taste sweet
A promise of beginnings
That just couldn’t compete

I found a note
Detailing your transgressions
A finger on a trigger
Like skin to a blade

You shackled me
Told me it was my fault
And I started to believe
Not in a false god
But you

I’ve been sleeping with the lights on
Shedding layers of who I used to be
But never again
Cause I am free

Smoke was never meant to hold
The light flickered out
