lyrics

I want to share about a change in my life
A graphic warning about devils in disguise
It started with a ladder to a room of lies
And then led to terrible ambitions

Later on hanging out on your bed
I won’t ever forget the words that you said
Claiming that it’ll only hurt for a while
But mental scarring just isn’t my style

A knife from behind
Caused eternal bleeding inside
Stole nothing but innocence
Your thoughts and prayers won’t heal this

We were just laughing underneath the sun
And it was all going well
Until you pulled out the gun
I tried to run but you just wouldn’t let me leave
You changed stances preaching that you’re joking

You advised that a should eat straight from the tree
And a lack of snakes gave me slight relief
But I guess that’s how you got the best of me
Which is why I’m trying to cope with our history

A gun from behind
Caused eternal bleeding inside
Stole nothing but innocence
You’re thoughts and prayers won’t heal this

And I hate how I feel so alone
When I start to speak
Regarding dominance
And terrible circumstances

A gun from behind
Caused eternal scarring inside
Stole nothing but innocence
Thoughts and prayers can’t heal this
‘Cos I relive that spiteful night
It haunts me every time
And if you’re hearing these words
I hope you get what’s deserved
