Текст песни The House That You Burned Down - Ezekiel Nigma

You've forgotten me, and you've forgotten us
You've even forgotten our family
But, worst of all is that
You've forgotten yourself
You once told me that
I would never find another like you
But, with the way you treated me
The abuse you put me through
And your refusal to communicate
I actually think that would be a good thing
Because you've taken me for granted

Desolation
Left me behind in the ashes of a broken home
Isolation
Left me behind to pick up the broken pieces all alone
I had put up with your lies and abuse for so long
Yet somehow I'm the one in this who's in the wrong
I endured all your insults, manipulation, and assaults
But your inability to help yourself is somehow my fault?

Once upon a time you were a dream come true
Twisted to a nightmare by a fate so cruel
Your love died the day he ripped away your wings
A harsh reality that still painfully stings

(Detoxify) The venom you put into my veins
No longer being bound by your chains
Has made it worth all of this pain
(Detoxify) This poison that you left inside me
From your chokehold I am released
And now I have been finally freed

Now you're nothing but a blaze that destroys all you touch
You avoid accountability by using your disorders as a crutch
Making excuses for everything that you choose to neglect
'Cause you're too arrogant and afraid to stop and self-reflect
I once thought that you were a dream come true
But now I see that this was just a nightmare fueled by you

(Detoxify) The venom you put into my veins
No longer being bound by your chains
Has made it worth all of this pain
(Detoxify) This poison that you left inside me
From your chokehold I am released
And now I have been finally freed

Though you like to pretend that you're a witch
The only hex that you had ever managed to cast
Was this gaping hole that you left in my chest
But unlike you, I'm able to move on from the past
Because in the end, your disappearing act was for the best

You tried to bury me alive
But from this shallow grave, I rise
From the ashes scattered across the ground
Of this house that you had burned down

(Detoxify) The venom you put into my veins
No longer being bound by your chains
Has made it worth all of this pain
(Detoxify) This poison that you left inside me
From your chokehold I am released
And now I have been finally freed

I embrace this new opportunity
That you have given to me
