See, I can’t write happy songs when I have an actual object of affection to focus in on. Same person who inspried Unrequited inspired this one after some early social media fuckery.
Revenge Written 5/29/07
You let me die
A cold, slow, miserable death
Cut off my lifeline
Withered away til there’s nothing left
And now I roam as a spirit
Because you’ve set me free
I’ll let the whole world hear it
Because you’ve let me be
Erasing me from your existence
Is the best thing you did
I didn’t put up any resistance
Now of me you are rid
And I’m not going to be bitter about this
I let you murder me quietly
I know by you I will not be missed
You will forget me entirely
You’ve let me die
Resigned to a wretched fate
I don’t wonder why
You’ve left me to lie in state
So here and now I am a ghost
Of my former self
No longer feeding off the host
Of what you have left
Absolving yourself of your sin
So can be pure
Absolution from within
So you can endure
The feeling gnawing at your insides
Because I didn’t put up a fight
This is the shame from which you can’t hide
Even though I’m no longer in your sight
You have my blood all over your hands
And the memory of me gets you scared
The memory of me is what you can’t stand
Therefore your life will be so unfair
You’ve let me die
In truth though I can never be dead
You’re living a lie
Because I still roam around in your head
The manifestation of what once lived
It eats away at your soul
What you have took is what I give
Leaving your body all cold
Killing me has left you unhinged
And now you’re left clawing at your skin
You will not be absolved of your sin
This is my greatest revenge
