I’ll be anyone but me, I’ll be. And you will lay the guilt down hard on me. I saw you broke your back for sympathy. Some fake blood and a brace for injury.
He cried out, cried out, cried out, cried out.
We don’t learn from our mistakes, do we? As if we’re brain-dead, dumb, and on the brink. Gnashed my teeth and spread out on the floor. Your face, it shined and terrified me so.
He cried out, cried out, the light broke, light broke.
