You Tried

Choked breath behind a closed fist
This is my home, everything I’ve known
All the atoms that make up for me
Imagination and reality

I’m the protagonist
You’re not even missed
It’s my story
You’re not part of it

Blacken my soul
Bleed me dry
Take full control
Break me inside
Ensure my demise
You tried

Your spit in my tears
Streaks through the dirt on my skin
Mouth full of staples, piercing my heart
Violent and unforgiving right from the start

It’s my story
You’re not part

Blacken my soul
Bleed me dry
Take full control
Break me inside
Ensure my demise
You tried

Warn the stars
They’ll know what you are
Beauty lost to your eyes
Warn the stars
They’ll know you by your lies

Blacken my soul
Bleed me dry
Take full control
Break me inside
Ensure my demise
You tried
