Ashes

Let 'em burn The memories of hope that I had for you Turn Yourself around - your demons beckon you I hope you enjoyed love while it lasted Now build a fire and collect the ashes Burn Collect the ashes Burn Collect the ashes Only a year into a new adventure New friends, new faces, no consequences The prequel to the hurt that pains me just to mention That's when you got her attention You could say it was love at first sight Long wandering drives and scary movies at night But it was all a lie You learned And schemed a way into her heart You turned Your conscience away, played the part Of a man, whose soothing words were just acid She never wanted to be treated like plastic You Slipped your hand in her skirt, made her question her worth Now she's here crying in my shoulder, broken, downtrodden She Trusted you and you stabbed her in the back Blegh It was a fateful night She felt safe in this home amidst the dying of the light Pursued by your filthy greed She gave you everything you wanted for your sickening needs You promised love but gave her pain Took her innocence away You coward Pernicious actions in the midnight hours And when I saw the tears on her face It was all I could do to keep my anger at bay Everyone makes mistakes But you lost all my trust when you treated her that way Deceitful snake
