lyrics

crumpled into a ball
tossed out amongst the sprawl
pages after pages of the same lines left abrasions

tracing until it's muscle memory
is this your method of recounting
revising ever so slightly
unwitting or contriving?

i've seen you carve your path
at first i had your back
stabbing after stabbing until each friend turned enemy

fresh blood you paint with on your palette
each time renders you more callous
there are reasons that you are so wretched
i can see the demons in your hatred

curled up into a ball
tossed out by the ones so close
anguish upon anguish left you sharpened for some revenge

paintbrush sedated all the ruckus
pleasure subdued frantic tremors
there are voices you can't get away from
there are choices dampened by commotion

now that we've crossed paths
there's no turning back
i offered you pastels but you wished to paint a hell

i misunderstood the premise
i held nothing but a canvas
you had a vision that no one else could see
we believed in to the point of bleeding

what's this
why'd you skew all the proportions
just to cut and rearrange in
such a way that has no semblance of its genesis

sticky the strongest of adhesives
once laid, however aimlessly
took aim, punctured an artery
i hid the wound to make the blood clot

drip drip
i think i tore it back open
it stained the frame of your collages
i tried to help but just ruined everything

blame game
i never said that i was playing
blame game
winner take nothing
