Severed

I've burned through every friend I've known
The cracks all lead back to my bones
No hand could pull me from this place
I wore their trust, I wore their face

Hollow eyes staring back at me
A life reduced to memory
Every word I swore, I broke
Every bridge I built, I choked

I have lied, I have betrayed
I have watched it all decay

If I scream, it's not to heal
It's to prove this pain is real
All my failures, sharp and near
They don't fade, they reappear
Every choice I can't defend
This is how it always ends

I have lied
I have betrayed
I have watched it all
