Process

Gazing from rooftops steep
lunacy grows in the heat
tragedy finds us
bring her to me

Tuck away your thoughts of happy times
and throw on the fire your memories of hand in hand and unified bright minds
with your wandering eye you've begun for yourself your own undoing
make no mistake the blame is yours you'll carry it with you forever

So taste the skin
don't blink your eyes
in the ecstasy and surprise
see the human spirit die

Never wanted to be like this
she put a gun to my head put my hands on her body
I stepped outside myself
never meant to hurt you and kill myself in the process

So descend my son
into what you've begun
the hurt you feel
is tenfold in her world

Feel her forgiveness and the awkwardness; the senses' circus
how could one beaten down feel the love again and take the pain away
it's just a fraction of the fearlessness in the lone salvation
but how it burns to know the lusty memory of filth and betrayal

So let it burn
let the images careen
feel your own self worth
disappear in the cream

Never wanted to be like this
she put her heart to my head to erase my sorrow
but we never will get it back
never meant to hurt you and kill myself in the process.
