A List of All the Ways
There’s a list inside my head of all the ways I’ve done you wrong.
There’s a list underneath my hands of all the ways I’ve hurt you.
There’s a list in my heart of all the ways I’ve failed you.
And there’s a list underneath your skin of every way I’ve betrayed you.
It’s a history, a life, a making, consequences of a demon.
The burn in my ribs is the kick from your pain.
The fire on my hands is the failure I am to you.
And I know there are scars across your skin
and they should be mine.
They should be mine.
There’s a list inside my head of all the ways I’ve done you wrong.
There’s a list underneath my hands of all the ways I’ve hurt you.
There’s a list in my heart of all the ways I’ve failed you.
And there’s a list underneath your skin of every way I’ve betrayed you.
It’s a history, a life, a making, consequences of a demon.
There’s fire across your skin and I’m holding the lighter.
What am I, what am I, what am I without you.
I don’t understand.
Dunno where the kerosine came from, dunno where the spark is from.
Didn’t know I could do this kind of damage to you.
There’s a list inside my head of all the ways I’ve lit you up.
There’s a list underneath my hands of all the ways it’s fired back to me.
There’s a list in my heart of all the burns on your body.
There’s a list in, underneath your skin of every way I’ve betrayed you.
It’s family, it’s broken, it’s the bad of having me as yours.
