it was done after it was over
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins and
exploited my truths
stripped the roof from my home
to expose the storm -
came rippin in
tearing everything to shreds
there is no salvation
there is only dirt
he chewed me up and spit me out
only to taste but never to swallow
a regurgitation of my soul, my pride
a solid column that hardens over time
and eventually turns to stone
weather-beaten and abused
i am left cracked but still standing
we wrote
that suits me well
washed up
for the world to see and to judge
a contract broken -
mislead and taken without consent
blinded by own desires and curiosities
to seek and to be found
leaves a bad taste in my mouth
of bitter deceit
I am left with a stale appetite
starved and hungry for more
an inconvenient yearning
for a recipe of disaster
if only you knew
you broke my heart before we met, babe
two souls in search of truth
to mend a gap
of an itch that burns
holes into your skin
a desire unmet
until I met you, babe
for my soul was numb before we met
and I did not feel a thing
grain by grain, you dissolve
as I stir you away
