lyrics

This wall was my canvas and I chose to play god
My trap was hidden and you saw nothing
Now I've got your pain lodged in my throat
I chose to play god and I lost
Accusing eyes glare from around every corner
They know what keeps me up at night
The song rang beautiful as it came off the wings
I injected my poison and left you to rot
What is wrong?
I wasn't blind
I chose not to see
I gave up the chance
It wasn't taken from me
Happiness when there is sadness
Beauty when there are jagged edges
Simplicity when there is no reason
I was pissing them away but I didn't believe it
Your wings don't sing anymore and it keeps me up all night
